[alt-photo] Re: Epson 2400 ink density problems

[John Brewer]

After a couple of goes I've managed to sort it. It was the 'no color
management'. It wasn't openly displayed as in the 1290 printer driver.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Chris.

John.

John,
I agree with Marek.  I have used the 2400 now for several years and with all
processes, even black and white, and plenty of ink density.

You aren't on snow leopard are you?

Is you pic you are printing out in sRGB and not Adobe 1998 (BIG dif)?

Are you turning off printer manages colors and using "no color management"?

Are you on a Mac or PC?

These kinds of things.  But the sRGB is the number one problem that my
students have when they print out namby pamby negs that don't hold back
light; no. 2 is they do not select "no color management" as the very last
step before printing.
