prior to this morning all my prints were coming out fairly good. they matched what i saw on my monitor very well. now the problem starts. i thought i would get a custom printer profile from Cathys Profiles. i downloaded the targets and followed her instructions to a T. the printed targets are ready to be mailed out Monday morning. now when i go to print my saved and previously printed pics they come out differant. they are darker and the color is off. when i compare a pic i printed yesterday or last week to the same print i made this afternoon they are VERY differant in color. there appears to be more red in the new prints, but that could be because my blood is boiling and i am so mad at myself for messing up my printing. i thought i set everything back to the way is was prior to printing the targets for the custom printer profile. using PSE 2 i have color management set to "no color management" when i slect "print preview" and then select "more options" it says document source profile: sRGB IEC61966 – 2.1 below that it says "print space" then profile: sRGB IEC61966 – 2.1 then below that it says intent: relative colorimetric and below that the box is checked where it says use black point compensation. now i hit print and my print dialog box come up. in that it says printer: stylus 890, which is correct. below that it says presets: standard then below that it has a drop down menu which has the following:copies & pages, layout, output options, print settings, color management, summary. i then choose print settings, select my media type (epson premium glossy photo paper) ink:color, mode:advanced settings, print quality: photo 720dpi. looking under color management before printing it has a check mark by "color controls" which i believe is the way it was prior to this mornings printing of the targets. i then hit print and out comes a pic which does not look like the same print i made a few days ago. can someone PLEASE help me before i pull out what little hair i have left. one final note, my monitor was calibrated using a Pantone ColorVision spyder this morning but i did this AFTER i printed the targets from Cathys Profiles. i do calibrate my monitor every 2 weeks, but for some reason i did not calibrate it BEFORE printing her targets this morning.
