I just bought a new printer here in Japan (the Epson PM-G800, I don't know what the equivalent is in the U.S.) and have been trying to print to it in Photoshop. On topic, I'm printing all the photos from China that I took with my M7. I'm scanning in from my Nikon LS-4000 and getting great rich colors. My LCD screen is calibrated using a Spyder calibrator. In Photoshop, everything looks great while I'm editing it (in Adobe RGB). The problem is when I go to print. The Print With Preview shows a very desaturated version of my image -- a good amount of the color is drained from it. This is despite everything setting I can think of changing (the source/destination color space, etc.). When I go to print, the final printed image is just as desatured as the Print Preview. Can anyone help? What setting am I setting wrong? I want the rich colors I'm seeing! Karen p.s. The same problem happens when I work in sRGB or the printer color space, so I'm not sure if that's the source of the problem.. -- Karen Nakamura http://www.photoethnography.com/ClassicCameras/
