Hopefully some one might be able to help as I am a tad stumped with a problem of dark prints from CS3 on an Epson 2880.
Macbook Pro with 10.4 Tiger
I have a calibrated monitor
CS3 setup with American Prepress colour settings
Raw picture imported into CS3 with Adobe RGB profile
So I edit the picture as required and then open the print window where I tell photoshop to manage the colours and select the correct ICC profile for my printer and paper. I then go to the Epson print driver and select the correct media type and turn off colour management.
The picture that is printed is 1 to 2 stops darker than what is should be.
Now the strange thing is if I use the Epson Print Plug-in the picture that it displays is generally dark like the print output.
If I didnt know better I would say that another ICC profile is being applied to the picture as it moves either to the print driver or to the Epson Plug-in.
If I check the picture in CS3 with proofing then I get a small colour change as expected but not the dark print that comes out.
Any suggestions much appreciated as this is doing my head in.
