I'm using the Epson Perfection 1650 scanner and am in general quite
satisfied with the results. The exception is that all scans come out with a
decided bluish cast. Using my CorelDraw and Photopaint 9 software, I'm able
to get quite good results, but it is a real pain and, if there's a better
way, a terrific waste of time. (At age 78, I don't have a lot of that to
waste!)

Photopaint 9 does not include a means of creating my own color profiles, so
I've used the profiles I made using my PhotoPaint7.

Any and all suggestions very gratefully welcomed!

I had a similar bluish cast with my Epson 1660 flatbed. I purchased a
reflective calibration chart from Wolfe Faust, used VueScan to calibrate
the scanner. Having calibrated the scanner I calibrated my printer,
again using VueScan. It takes about a week to get the chart airmailed
from Germany. Regards, John.
