The monitor is set fairly bright but I have not fiddled with any colour settings.but I see what you mean by matching printer output to screen. My working conditions are not compatible with best working practice.

I couldn't see how to 'Introduce myself either. I am sorry if I put this matter in the wrong area.

There is one approach to get a monitor and printer in line - you start with a test printout with standard printer settings and adjust the monitor to resemble the print output - you can get pretty good results with this approach - under some conditions - that you don't change anything with your hardware setup, environment, light, paper, inks, driver etc later or you go the technical route with monitor calibration etc. It's up to you how much accuracy you expect or you need -e.g. Start with some simple steps or apply instruments etc for that purpose. Yes, no wonder, printer and monitor don't know of each other how they render colors and contrast, and that's the whole purpose of color management to get them aligned. You are addressing another issue you have observed - that the printer does not print the colors as you see them on the monitor and you need to do lots of adjustments. We can go into great detail whether this or that color set is better or not, we can talk about the size of color spaces, rendering intents, all very interesting but as well confusing. But rather think simple - either one of these printers takes RGB color data to print - and whether they use additional colors - blue - orange - no light magenta as on some other printers etc - should not be your prime concern, printers just should print the colors correctly as they are supplied from the computer by your software. When you talk about the R1800 and the P400 - these are printers of different generations - the drivers, the user interface, the hardware, the number of colors etc all have changed.

My teachers have been Trial and Error!Ĭlick to expand.This should never be a reason not to look into color mgmt. I work alone.no-one I know does anything similar. Thank you for the opportunity to discuss it. I would really like to know from others if they have this problem and in what way they have experienced it.and any other comments. You might expect it to be proportionate BUT!!! I am very OLD! I thought I might be able to kill the cyan with magenta but really that doesn't work because it effects all the other colours too much. I read about Paper Profiles but it is now too late and I think beyond me to start again.

This biases my original prints heavily towards Cyan which drives me mad! I am using exactly the same paper (Somerset enhanced Velvet or Epson matt for proofing).ĭo photographers have the same problem moving from one printer to another? How do they manage to produce an identical image from different printers? Or do they not have occasion to save them? One of the things I notice is that the difference between the colours in the R1800 and the SC P400 is that the former had 2 blues and two reds (effectively) the new printer only has Cyan for blues and effectively 3 reds one of which is orange (plus yellow, two blacks and optimiser).

It seems I have to re-proof every one of my prints! Not easy I can tell you. Of course the design remains and an approximation of the colours. None of the new printer settings really relate to the old ones. So having got the perfect proof I could always reproduce it. Lots of proofing of course because what you see is not what you get. Because I really do not know any better, I have always designed on screen and and then used the setting that seemed to suit best (eg old printer Standard or Vivid 1.5, 1.8, 2.2) and made a careful note of which of those used. Unlike most people here I am not printing photos I am designing prints using Photoshop as a means of laying down colours. My problem is that all the settings are pretty well completely different on the new printer.

I graduated from the R1800 Photo which was a brilliant printer but gave up on me after 10 years (not bad!) despite expensive and valiant attempts of every kind to unclog the nozzles.
