do provide us with more information.

Sir sorry but when you say calibrated, meaning?

I tried using epson easy print and also tries to print in adobe photoshop cs2.

I just noticed that this thread is in the Digiprint section of the forum.

Shouldn't this be moved somewhere else?

I dunno ... maybe the color management section of DPP forum? :D

Cheers!

maybe you could check the calibration or color management of your software to your printer..it should be match.. let say sRGB to sRGB.. :-)

Nope. That's a common misconception. You could be working with more than one color profile or color space:

1) The display profile that your monitor uses.
2) The color workspace you use in Photoshop.
3) The colorspace used for the image itself (which doesn't necessarily have to match your PS color workspace).
4) The color profile for your choice of printer and paper.

All these color profiles or color spaces don't have to match if you're working with color management.

They only have to be as accurate as possible.

Hi Sir Jo,

I was a bit confused there for a moment! But can you elaborate just a little. :)
Based from what I read so far, for your Items 1 to 4 above I would have used or set up my color profile to a single profile, e.g Adobe RGB...

But on a second thought, I can only use Adobe RGB for my camera and my Photoshop Color Profile. I would have used a different profile for my monitor and certainly a different profile for my media and ink.

Now I understand better.

Thanks for the input. :Grin:

P.S.

Sir Jo,

I know it's quite far but would you have seminars on color management / printing 'round about April next year? I would love to attend and learn from you. :Grin:

I currently have no seminar schedule yet for April 2010.

You can view updates to my seminar schedule at:

The April 2010 schedule will be announced by mid-March 2010.

I use Epson T10. My notebook LCD is calibrated with Spyder (eternally grateful to a friend), and the colors are close to that produced by my T10. Easier said than done, so you'll need to learn color management.
