Hi there, I'm really hoping that someone here can help me. I've got an
Epson Stylus Photo 950 which I like very much but have recently noticed a
strange problem. If I print out at 1440dpi everything looks fine, colours
are good compared to the monitor, but when i print at 2880dpi in the same
session of photoshop the colours are totally different, a lot warmer in
tone. I was printing on Kodak Premium Photo Paper.

Has anyone else had these problems? If so, could you point me in the right
direction of a fix.

Thanks a lot.

Simon
 
Try using Epson paper. Have you calibrated your monitor so you are seeing
it correctly?
 
like i say, the monitor is calibrated and when printing at 1440dpi the image
looks great.

i will try the epson paper though.

The observable difference between 1440 and 2880 dpi prints from my 1280 and
2200 is marginal, and the profiles I've built indicate a very slight
contrast and saturation differential. There is *no* color shift whatsoever
using the proper profiles in Photoshop, and even if I use the 1440 profile
and print at 2880 it is still darned close. What color management system
are you using? The driver, Photoshop, Qimage, what?
 
well, i'm using my own monitor profile and then when printing using the
photoshop profile. is it possible that i just need to reclean the heads?
