Hi!

Can anyone tell me why, when I set the colour preferences to match my printer (Epson 890 and Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper), I get only a limited number of colours available on the palette?

I need to match this colour setting up to my printer to get prints as they appear on screen (As far as I am aware) but the limited choice of colours to work with restricts me.

Any help appreciated.

Bill

I think you’re looking at the swatches.

The other colors are available, just a little harder to get at.

One way is to use the Color Palette, and adjust the sliders.

For artwork I find the HSB sliders to be the most intuitive. —
