Hi folks, I’m sure that you have heard this before so my apologies in advance. I am currently using an Epson R2880 printer with an acer laptop. My prints are very much redder than the images displayed on screen. No matter what I do the prints turn out very much redder, even allowing photoshop to manage the colours, or just printing from a picture viewer results in the same.

I have tried to colour manage in many different ways and setting but I still get the same result. Has anybody got any recommended settings to marry my prints to the screen?

Thanks,

Keith.

lots of questions to ask to be accurate

but

image in photoshop
photoshop manages colour
choose profile for the paper your using
then in the epson driver make sure no colour management is selected
and choose the media type settings etc. this is normally specified by the paper profile maker

now this assumes you have your monitor calibrated
that you using epson inks

Hi Steve, thanks for your quick response ! Yes my monitor is calibrated and I do use Epson inks, I’ll recheck all your settings in the morning, hopefully it will work out :D

Much appreciated !
