My Epson Stylus Photo 2200 has decided to go on strike. Most of the printer's lights are blinking continuously, and the printer status monitor tells me, "Parts inside your printer are at the end of their service life. Contact your dealer for replacement." The printer was printing fine just mom

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,

Yes, but only some brands. Alternately consider a program called Qimage http://www.ddisoftware.com/qimage It will resize and print image in the size of your choice - thumbnails to 13" x 19" or more - on the paper of your choice, which you can then cut as needed. Maris Shel Belinkoff wrote: > >

The metallic look thing is called Bronzing, which is a problem on many occasions. Metamerism is when a print's colors look different under different lighting conditions - daylight v. tungsten for example. B & W printing is problematic - you can set the printer driver to print "black ink only", an
