The problem: Prints are overly dark when printed on an Epson RX500 on premium glossy paper with Photoshop CS (Windows XP Pro). Now here is the rub: After saving the psd file as a jpeg, and printing the same image with either Windows Photo Editor, or with ArcSoft Photoexpression 5 (provided by Epson) the print LOOKS JUST FINE. Contrast is appropriate, and colors very nearly the same as on screen (which has been calibrated with Photocal). Whats been tried? Nearly everything (I am hoping there is something I havent tried yet that will remedy the problem). I have tried printing by setting the Epson driver to no color adjustment, as well as Photo Enhance and a variety of driver controlled print options. In CS, I have tried various print preview settings, including each of the rendering techniques; a variety of print space settings (such as same as source, and the Epson RX500 icm); and different source specifications. When print proofing is turned on with the Epson RX500 option, the image becomes quite dark. When levels is used to sufficiently lighten the image, contrasts (details) are washed out. I even tried the arcane Transfer function, with some, but not adequate success. I suppose I can get myself into the habit of always saving the image as a jpeg, and printing outside of CS, but that seems a violation of what is otherwise an outstanding piece of software. Does anyone know the incantation for solving this conundrum?
