I have a HP Z3100 DesignJet 44" photo printer. There are some significant problems with getting the ouput to match the screen version in Photoshop CS3.
I have calibrated everything over and over and over. I have checked and rechecked settings. Still no luck. I have a big and expensive pile of useless prints on the floor.
I called HP DesignJet tech support to get their take on the matter. They informed me that there is a known problem with printing to HP DesignJets from Photoshop CS3. They recommended printing from CS2 for best results. They placed the issue squarely in Adobe’s court.
[sigh…]
I then asked if HP and Adobe were talking to each other to address this and he said that he thought so, but can’t say for sure.
So, what is Adobe doing to address this apparently "known" issue that HP Tech Support Identified?
(This is crazy-making from a customer standpoint to say the least).
HP recommended that I print from CS2. I still have it and can load it back up just for printing, but that can’t be considered a permanent solution. I was able to get good results with CS2 before I upgraded to CS3 (Extended).
