It is not completely clear from the above exactly what you are doing but if you are using color management in Photoshop, then the Epson's color management needs to be turned off so that the printer just prints exactly what it is sent. In the print dialog, this is under "color management" and you would select "no color adjustment". Also, I think you are probably in for a lot of frustration until you break down and get a ColorVision Spyder or similar product to profile your monitor properly. - -- Rolfe Tessem rolfe@ldp.com Lucky Duck Productions, Inc. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
