I just installed my new Epson 2200, Adobe PhotoShop CS and ProCal Spider to calibrate the monitor (Dell CRT, on a Dimension 8200 Series, using Windows XP). Here is what I did:
1. In stalled Adobe Photoshop first (#1045-1037-3430-5542-9308-9807). No problems with the installation and I proceeded with the activation.
2. The Epson PIM Plug-In for Adobe would not install since it only supported Photoshop 7.0 or 6.0.
3. I installed the PhoCal Spider according to directions by disabling Norton Virus protection and removing Adobe Gamma from the startup file. Then I calibrated the monitor with Spider.
4. I then went to Epson for any down loads that might be available for my system, WindowsXP. The two I picked are:
a. Printer Driver v 5.4aA, for WindowsXP, Epson 10700
b. PIM II Plug In v 2.0 for WindowsXP, Epson 10628
c. Status Monitor 3v3.obA
5. Finally, I worked on a few photo files, taken with Nikon 5700 in Tif. I did do a little color balancing and changed some contrast, in the Adobe PhotoShop CS. When I printed on Epson Semi-Gloss and also Epson Premium Luster, the prints turned out with a lot of red tone.
6. After adding more green and blue, I still had too much red tones.
7. The excessive red tones were on all color prints and black&white prints.
8. I also printed the same files using Film Factory that came with the Epson printer. There was no excessive red tones on the color or B&W prints.
9. What should I try next? Is there a download I should get that corrects this problem.
Thanks, Bill
