Lightroom :: 3 - Color Management Printing To Epson 9900?
Nov 23, 2011
I am a Pro Photographer, and have been printing via Photoshop for years, and am trying to print to my Epson 9900 through LR3.
Workflow is simple, Nikon .nef (Raw) files are imported into LR3 - all monitors are calibrated w/ pro-grade color management colorimeters/software ....
Everything looks great on screen, and the TIF files exported and picked up in Photoshop and then printed, look great.
However, my files printed directly from LR look horrible - as if color profiles are being applied twice somewhere, but I can't figure out where.
Images are shot in AdobeRGB color space.
Color management in the Epson 9900 print driver is turned OFF. (same as every other program I print from)
My LR3 screen for printing looks like this:

I'm printing to an Epson 9900 using Lightroom 3.6.
I want to print an array of 4 x 6 images. The prints come out 3.5 x 5.25. Attempting to print a 5 x 7 produces and image reduced by the same scaling.
I also tried with Photoshop CS5, printing just a single 4 x 6 and that also came out strangely.
This is on a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.

Just got an epson 3880 printer. Printing on epson paper is fine. But printing on Ilford or Moab or other papers from lightroom and photoshop have a terrible magenta color cast. WHen I print the same image from Preview, with the same print driver settings, it looks fine. So somehow the adobe apps (or my settings) are messing up the color sync. I used to have an espon 2400 which worked just fine.
I have Mac OSX-10.9.1. Monitor is calibrated. (Prints to epson paper with their profiles look great...it's just other profiles that are really bad).

printing on my new 3880 through Photoshop CS5 on an iMac 10.6.8. Using Photoshop CS5 as 'color handling'-- the color mode is greyed out (can't change it) in the print settings. How can I change the color modes? Mostly turn off color management so I can use ICC printer profiles?

My printer, Epson 3800, color management has stopped working in CS5. For a while it still worked if i printed from preview. Now even that stopped working. Epson tech was not able to solve the problem and Adobe no longer supports CS5.

I'm unable to get correct results in printing through Photoshop Element 11 and my printer Epson R1800.Though, it works correctly with other software that support colorsync (ex: DXO Optic Pro 8).
I tried every combination with my ICC profile : "let photshop manage colors", "let printer manage colors", ... Each time the resulting print is too dark.Even worth : when I print several time the same photo with the same parameter under Photoshop Element, I don't get the same result each time.
On DXO, I print by activating colorsync with the same profile I use with Photoshop Element and the result is always great with each time correct colors rendition.
My configuration is : iMac 24 2007 + Mountain Lion + Epson R1800.

I've recently purchased some Fotospeed printing paper and want to get a custom profile for this. The instructions sent to me by the company only covers Elements 1 - 9. These tell me to select Print then, under Color Management set Color Handling to No Color Management. However, this option on longer is available in Elements 11. I've also checked your website for Elements 10 and it would appear that this option was still available in that version. How can I get around this in Elements 11?

I am trying to print from Photoshop CS6 to an Epson PictureMate color printer and an Epson PictureMate 225 printer. In both cases I want to let Photoshop manage color. I am finding no color profile for Epson in the list of profiles provided by Photoshop. The best I can do is choose “display” as my profile. Still my color prints do not match what I see on my screen in Photoshop. They are flat and washed out. How can I obtain print profiles for my Epson Printers to be used with Photoshop 6?

I have a problem with the color management of my corel Photo Paint X4.I create Flyer in CMYK and the color management is set as you can see in the attachment.On screen all colors are correct, but when i print something the colors look like it ignores the color management settings for the printer.
When i open the same document in my old Photo Paint 10 with the same color management settingsthe printing has the right colors...

This discussion is on using RGB file creation techniques to output to ink jet devices. I posted the comments below the link because color management off always pops up in the conversation as it turns to non-postscript devices so I wanted to circumvent the side bar conversation.
[URL]....
First let's get this straight, I've written it and said it about a thousand times, you cannot turn off color management.
When you select simulate color management off in the default application color management dialog, CorelDRAW simply utilizes a different set of color management settings. The rules of color management never change! The application requires guidelines on color and still must have rules that govern conversions, PERIOD.
These rules are not different, only the engines, rendering intents and profiles change. These setting in X5 and X6 can be, in some cases adjusted to simulate previous setting in versions prior to X5 that were labeled color management off, but this label in older versions (X4 and older) were deceptive in their nature, color management was never turned off, just set to a specific configuration.
Simulate color management off (in X5/X6) uses wide gamut cmyk simulation as the CMYK profile, it disengages the color engines (setting CorelDRAW to another internally controlled process) and sets the interface to RGB. It does not turn color management off.
These settings have many uses for industries such as laser engraving and screen printing separations and I support their continued use. Do not confuse this and use these settings for professional output using press work, ink jets or digital printers.

I have a problem with CorelDraw X6.
When printing 100% black on laser printer the Black is all in raster. Very strange because the same file printed from X4 /same PC and same printer/ is OK and is not in raster.
Probably the problem is somewere in X6.
I don't belive that the problem is in the color management because it's the same as my X5 and there all is OK too.

I recently purchased an Epson R3000 and am having terrible trouble with the colour management from Corel. Everything I output has a very yellowy/browny caste over it when compared to my screen (for example a slightly warm grey comes out brown-grey and light blues come out very murky in colour tone). I have applied Adobe RGB (1998) to the document, opted for Corel to manage colours and turned off colour management in my printer. I am also using IC profiles specific to my papers. My monitor is self-calibrated but up until now the colour difference between screen and output device has never been a problem.

read that color management pdf by gennady petrov and tried a few things he wrote. I turned off color management in the printer driver, chose corel to manage color, and the image default profile sRGBxxxxx. picture was way dark and ugly. tried several other profiles and same dark picture. hmm that did not work so well.
went back to the printer driver and disabled no color management, and chose the profile Adobe RGB. still kept corel as manager and chose A RGB as the profile and the print looked spot on. Have not had problems printing from corel because I have come up with my own system, but was quite surprised at the result from turning off color management in the printer driver.

I think I have finally figured out how to sync all my color management settings with CS2, Lightroom, my Nikon300, and my jpg viewing software. All are set to color profile sRGB and a picture looks almost exactly the same in every program.
My main use with these programs and the desire for good color is shooting a ton of basketball game pictures and color correcting and painting them in Photoshop.
My question: Is sRGB the best choice color profile, or does anyone have an opinion on an alternative profile.

I Use Macbook Pro OSX 10.8.2
Lightoom 4
Canon Pixma MG 8250
Profile MG series 8200 GL3/SG3 for Glossy paper.
It is stated that "remember to turn off color management in the print dialog" when using custom profile (I assume the Profile MG...) is regarded as a custom profile...
I have been lookoing in the print dialogue and I can not find any way to turn off colour management... Is this only valid for Microsoft Windows of Is there something I do not understand ?

I am having problems printing from Photoshop CS6 to an Epson Pro 3880 in paper sizes 13x19 and 17x22. I have not had this problem several weeks ago, but it has shown up in the past week.
I worked with Epson Tech support and we were able to determine that the problem was with Photoshop which took several days working with tech support. We downloaded new drivers several times and reset the printer to factory settings. Then we tried printing and still had the same problems a small print in the lower left hand corner of these larger papers. The printer prints fine on 8.5x11 paper. We then tried printing from Lightroom 4 and it did fine. So next we uninstalled Photoshop CS6 and reinstalled and still found the exact same problem.

I have recently upgraded my Mac Pro 3.1 to Mountain Lion (10.8.3). I have Adobe CS4 Design Standard and I used to print to my Epson SP9900 (using IP connection) from Photoshop CS4 without any problems using native Epson drivers. I downloaded the most recent drivers from Epson for SP 9900 on Mac OSX 10.8 but now prints come out as shattered, garbled or offset multiple times. Only from Photoshop, as Illustrator CS4 prints fine. As are other applications, including browsers and Microsoft Office.
I removed all the drivers and printer queues, reinstalled Design Standard CS4 and newly downloaded drivers from Epson and the first print came our OK. Then the second printed the same as before - garbled and offset.Should I try CS5 (I have the installer disc and license), or would I have the same problem? Am I facing the prospect of going back to Snow Leopard (if that is possible without completely reformatting my drive), or are there configuration options not apparent during standard installation?

I cannot print landscape mode images to my Epson from Photoshop 5.5. None of these combinations work: Choose Landscape in both PS and Epson dialogue: results in a portrait format cropped image. Choose Landscape in either one of the two dialogues: same thing happens. Print from Lightroom to Epson: results in correct landscape format print but there is no method of printing actual size. As I print DVD covers it is essential that the printer prints actual size! I used to be able to print correctly to my KM laser printer, but they have not bothered to upgrade their drivers to Win 7, so that makes the printer worthless. I have already talked to Epson at length. They insist the fault is with CS5.5 and not with their drivers. (I have the latest Epson drivers installed.)

I am having a very difficult time getting color matched prints with CS4 and my R2880 Epson printer. I had no issues with CS3. I have tried every combination available to me and I get very drab almost browinsh prints. I have the latest drivers and also have upgraded to Vista, no change there at all. I am using the proper ICC profiles as well.

My Epson Stylus Pro 9600 has a problem with CS3 printing. When printing large images (i.e. 36x60) a portion of the image would be missing at the bottom (blank) The 10.01 update addressed this issue but it seems not completely. The problem was attributed to using a "Custom" print resolution however I still have this problem and after much testing I have narrowed it down to the "Finest Detail" check box under the custom, advanced tab. Checking this "Finest Detail" check box reproduces the problem.

I cannot print photogrpaic images with my desktop MAC (OS X10.8.4) from Photoshop Elements 9.0 to my new Epson XP-800 printer. Printing is not a problem with Word text or images from iPhoto- it is only with PSE that there is a problem. The problem persists even if I try using a cabled connection rather than WiFi. I have ensured latest software from Epson has been downloaded. This problem did not occur when using the same system with the previous printer (Epson Photo Stylus 1290).
Any workaround of moving the edited PSE image back to iPhoto & printing from there (which admittedly does work but shouldn't be necessary).

I am using Photoshop CS4 and trying to print using my Epson PX710W with my New MacBook Pro (OS X 10.8.2 - Mountain Lion) but every time I send a photograph to print it comes out blank?
I am trying to print on to Epson Premium Glossy (4x6) Paper and I have tried other types of paper and sizes but every time it is blank. I always select the correct Paper Profile in the Print Menu depending upon the paper I am using and I select the correct size and paper tray. The print will print from Photoshop if I dont select an Epson paper profile but whenever I use the Epson Profiles it wont work. I even tried reinstalling the paper profiles but nothing happened, and the print remained Blank!
The Printer works with all paper through any other programme just not Photoshop CS4!

I just bought a new 4000 printer and the prints come out a little darker and with a little more magenta than what appears on my monitor.
The monitor has been calibrated using the spider software several times and each time it comes out the the same and I think that part of the process is good.
I have set my color workspace in Photoshop to US press defelts (Adobe 1998) and all seems well there.
The images have been scanned to 8000dpi using a High quality scanner from an outside source.
I open the image and convert to working space RGB, and do my correction to the image which includes more color saturation.
I go to print the image using Adobe1998 as source and the printer paper ICC as the output. I go to advanced options and make sure color correction are turned OFF and print.
The images on my printer always come out darker and with more magenta that what I see on the screen no matter what Icc profile I use for every kind of paper.
The softproof does not look that way.
When I print using same as source as the output with color correction sliders set to 0 the print will be much closer but still not quite like whats on the screen.
When I do it the correct way(the first way I discribed) why is my print comming out too dark and too much magenta?

System: Vista x64Monitor calibration: Eye One Display and basICColor Display software - profiled to basICColor's PrePress setting. Luminance is 130.Paper: Hahnemuhle 'Photo Rag Pearl' (with Hahnemuhle's profile) and Permajet 'Oyster' (with Permajet Profile)Settings in Print Dialog are: Photoshop Manages Colours, Paper profile selected, Perceptual Rendering Intent, Best Photo, ICM, Colour Management OFF (no colour management), Paper Type selected.Image is perfect in Photoshop window and perfect in Print Preview, but prints about a stop under and with a cast.What can I do to get prints that come close to what I'm seeing?Right now I can only get them if I brighten them such that, in ACR, the file would be way overexposed.This is very odd. CS3 was much better.Any ideas?Can I create a profile for my CS4/Vista x64/R2400/Paper Choice combination that will get me what I'm seeing on the screen?

Is there a way to print a DVD/CD directly from Adobe Photoshop.? Is there a template that I can download and open in photoshop and it will be configures properly to print to this printer?

We are just in the process of setting up Corel X6 for deployment in our office and we are trying to get a handle on the colour settings. We have upgraded from CD11 which had very little in the way of colour management and so we are somewhat inexperienced in how to set up.
We have two production printers an OKI 821 and a Ricoh C820DN which we print to using PCL drivers. We believe that we therefore need to use RGB as our colour mode and use an ICC profile for each printer for colour correction with colour management switched off on the driver. Is this correct? We've had a try this afternoon and the colours on the prints differ greatly from the display (which has been profiled using an xrite i1pro calibrator). They also differ from each other.
The monitor profile is set as the device profile in the windows colour system, and we are using that as our engine in corel.
