Peter H Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share #21 Posted July 24, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thank you again Andy - I shall try these things tomorrow when I hope to have the time to do it properly. Its tremendously reassuring to know that there's someone around who has been through all this before, and is prepared to share the benefit of their wisdom and experience. Many, many thanks.

janki Posted July 24, 2011 Share #26 Posted July 24, 2011 Hi Peter H I think you should be studying Andy's advice carefully. I cannot conclude otherwise than if you follow his advices, you will get a perfect result. Monitor calibration is one thing, paper profile something completely different. Just use EPSON own paper and related paper profiles in the beginning. In addition, I would say that it is a good idea to print photographs using low speed operation.

janki Posted July 24, 2011 Share #28 Posted July 24, 2011 I do not have Epson R 2880 myself. However, on this printer I think the case is that you have to manually switch cartridges between photo-black and matte-black ink, depending on the type of paper you are currently using? But this of course you are aware of, and have already checked, - I’ll assume. It takes a little time and effort to figure out the correct workflow for printing of images. Do a systematically work. Use small paper size. Print the same image again and again as you change one of the function at a time. Write down everything you do directly on the pictures, - and compare. Most will have to try out, and do a lot mistakes in this area. There will be consumed some ink and paper, but these costs you must look at as an investment in your own education.:) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

delander † Posted July 24, 2011 Share #38 Posted July 24, 2011 One other thought, when you select color matching in your print dialogue box are the options greyed out, ie cant be changed? Jefff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted July 24, 2011 Share #40 Posted July 24, 2011 [ATTACH]269759[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]269758[/ATTACH] Umm.. You chose 16-bit output in LR, yet did not tick the 16-bit box on the printer. Are you sure that is correct? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
