Epson Photo 1400

[chuck.streb]

Can someone explain to me how to print to an Epson 1400 from photoshop
CS2.
I have an aweful green cast. I have had this print for 2 months and
printed about 4 photos and I am not happy at all with the results. My
friends have a Canon Printer and do not have to do anything and get
excellent results.

Anyone?

First, have you calibrated your monitor? If not, do that.

Then, turn off all of the color management with the Epson Driver. You have
to go to the advanced settings on the driver to do so.

Then, have Photoshop control your color.

Use photoshop

Turn off anything to do with profiles and color correction in the
printer driver

Use print preview

Use the correct profile.

While I do prefer Canon ink using your printer with Epson ink will
produce very nice prints.

This is cross posted: you would be better off reading the instruction manual
than posting to these newsgroups.
The instruction manual is very clear about how to use color managment.
You probably do not understand color management, a complex subject.
There are many good tutorials about color management on the web. Including
the Epson web site.

I suspect a problem to one of the six colors, possibly the magenta or photo
magenta (lack of magenta prints green). Check the manual for nozzle check
and printhead cleaning.

Two months...4 photos...call Epson tech support...it's free...they'll
help you better than anyone else at this point in time.

It sounds like you may be double color managing. You can only color
manage from either the Epson driver or from CS2, not both. Check all
your settings and shut off one, probably CS2's color management.

OK, that might work also. It depend upon who has the better profiles.
I don't work with CS2 so maybe they are better than earlier Photoshop
drivers, and better than Epson supplies.

You are, of course, correct that the monitor should be calibrated, and I
should have mentioned that rather than assuming it was done.
