I recently switched to Mac and use a Mac Pro as my image editing machine. However, for no reason I can deduce, I can no longer get quality prints from my printer.

Background:
Epson R2400 printer
Photoshop CS2
24" and 20" Dell LCD’s calibrated with Monaco Optix XR Pro.

The prints are soft-proofed in PS CS2 to the paper to be printed on and all settings in PSCS2 have been verified as:

Example

Color Management:
– Proof: (profile: SPR2400 PremSemgle.icc)

Options:
– Color Handling: Photoshop Determines Colors
– Printer Profile: Working RGB
– Rendering Intent: Perceptual
– Proof Setup Preset: (Saved proofing profile is here)

This is the same basic setup from my PC days, but on the Mac, the prints are dark and muddy. Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.

– Printer Profile: Working RGB

That’s your problem you need to choose the printer paper profile.

the following link explains how to set everything up.

I made the change and that did it, I think. I have to try some more prints. The irony is the Epson tech didn’t catch it either and is now sending out a new printer. I was used to my PC setup saying "same as output", so I kept blowing right past this. Thanks for the help. I feel silly, but probably not as silly as the tech will feel when he figures this out.

You give him too much credit he’ll never figure it out unless you tell him.
