My prints from the R-200 have been too dark also (about a stop I had been compensating by lightening the image before printing). Now, I just did some experimenting, printing a series of a small image with different settings. I get the closest match setting it to Let Photoshop determine colors,

I used to own an Epson 2000P. When I switched to the R1800 my prints came out much darker too. The printing methodology I used was identical. Only difference being the profiles I chose (i.e R1800 ipo 2000P) Wendy On 10/19/06, Rick Womer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Alas, Godders, I tried all that

Hmm. That sounds like the profiles R1800 aren't particularly good. It might be worth seeing if there are alternative profiles available or having a couple created for your printing needs. Godfrey On Oct 20, 2006, at 10:59 AM, wendy beard wrote: I used to own an Epson 2000P. When I switched

It is very simple to use the profiles supplied, and they're generally quite good. Here's how. Assuming you are using Photoshop CS2 on Mac OS X (CS' and Windows nomenclature is a little different but you should be able to translate without too much difficulty), are working with a calibrated

Marnie, I too am thinking about the 1800. A friend has one that he really likes as well. Last evening our camera club had a meeting, and one of the members was discussing a recent problem he is having with his older 1800 (2 yrs old). It refuses to recognize 8.5x11 paper all of a sudden.
