you may choose your monitor profile. Is it that version 2 is so different?
I dunno. I’ve never used V1. However, the color management you’re talking about sounds like the document color management in Elements. That is, used for editing. What I’m talking about is a printing-specific feature.
In the Preview dialog in V2, there’s a setting you can choose under the Color Management that gives you access to all of the color profiles installed on your computer. With the Epson 2200, profiles that correspond to each kind of paper the printer knows about exist, and you just pick the one that goes with the paper you’re using.
Sorry I can’t be more specific. I don’t have Elements installed on this computer, so I can’t go look at the user interface just this moment. I do know that to display the options I’m talking about, you have to expand the dialog (there’s a button called "Advanced" or "More options" or something like that), and then you have to select "Color Management" from a top-level dropdown, which switches the options you can adjust to those that apply to color management for the printout.
While I replied because I’m using the exact same printer, and have done exactly what Jason is asking about, I suppose this same procedure is what anyone who has created a printer/paper-specific profile would wind up doing. I haven’t used the tools, but I gather you can get software that allows you to print a sample printout, scan it back in, and create a color profile that will adjust the colors so that what you scan is what comes out of the printer. Once one has created a profile that way, I’m guessing the method for getting Elements to take advantage of it is the same as for the built-in profiles that come with the Epson 2200.
