Question about Epson generic ink/CIS

[Jeff]

I have my ol' trsuty epson 880 inkjet

I use the typical generic ink replacement cartridges but sometimes the
prints dont match the output of the print.

Where do I make the adjustments to tweak the color ? in the printer driver
options or in photoshop?

Thanks,

jeff

Great reply..Thanks!

Either place may be appropriate. Color profiles are complicated at best.
Color matching has to start with a properly calibrated monitor, so you are
seeing what is actually there. Adobe RGB color profiles tend to be pretty
accurate, so be sure your monitor/system is using those profiles. Adobe
Gamma Loader is a good monitor calibration method, and once set it will
load every time you start your system.

In your printer driver, you will generally get good results if you turn
OFF all "photo enhance" and "vivid photo" type settings and use the Adobe
RGB color profile and manual settings. Not knowing exactly what your Epson
driver offers, it's hard to say what you might need to do. You generally
need to set up a different profile for whatever paper and ink combination
you are using at the time. Compatible inks should not be drastically
different from OEM inks, if they are then you need to change suppliers.
Suggest you switch to OEM inks and go through getting it all set up
correctly for your paper, then try compatible inks again.

This is another posting from a poster who has printer problems that is
caused by junkie ink.

Where do I make the adjustments to tweak the color ?

When you go to Staples or Costco and buy appropriate ink unless you
already ruined the printhead.

With Canon you might get away with "generic" ink. But with Epson you
should use an aftermarket ink designed for your printer.
