Hi All,
I am having trouble with my profile for an epson R290,
I have printed & read the template but the profile is off sky blues
have a mauve hue. What driver settings should i set on the printer
prior to printing the template. I believe this may be where my problem
is. I want to use the profile with Lightroom 2 & cs3.
you can see an example of the print at :-

 Dear Mr Tobie,
 I am sorry that I upset you by seeking help through another source.
 I initially posted here and read your response with interest. I sent
you a direct reply to you on the 24/9/08 but did not get a reply I
have subsequently reviewed this & noted I made a mistake with your
address by placing a double TT in the address. I appologise for any
offence I may have caused you or your company. 
I trust you will accept my regret so I will push on with resolving the
issue that has arisen from my lack of under standing of this Colour
management process, and we can move forward.

Now in the advanced section of the R290 driver to switch to no colour
management I must first select ICM is this correct?
In this section I also have drop down menus for  Paper & Quality, here
is an option for Draft, Photo  & Photo RPM 
What are the Pro & cons for selecting here Photo RPM & not Photo?
And what selection would you make?

As I have Spyder3Print and not spyder3 elite can i still print the
image in question from with in this program or am I restricted to the
16 set images on the last screen of the profiling process?
 The sky image you refer to is image #10 yes.

 I do Sincerely appreciate your help in this education process.

Kind regards
Lew Hylton

target with No Color Management (or your driver's equivalent)
selected, for a start. And you need to then print the test images from
SpyderProof to assure that your profile is correct. There is no way to
tell from a distance that your own test image was handled properly at
all points, and that the sky colors are appropriate and in gamut.
However if you print a sky image direct from SpyderProof, that is a
known entity, from a known printing route, and the only thing you have
to be sure to do is to, again, turn off color management in your
driver, and use the same settings as when you printed the target. So
let us know if the blue sky image from SpyderProof looks Magenta. If
not, its  not your profile, its your workflow or your image. If so,
then we can actually consider your profile process and settings.
