Argh! I'm a bit frustrated. 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..
