Why didn’t I think of that!

He gave you the answer. If you don’t have a third party solution, use Adobe Gamma. It’s in your control panel.

Bye the way, the image display in Print Preview is not color managed, so don’t expect that display alone to tell you how the print will look. People have been burned by this before.

LMAO! 🙂 THAT’S funny!
Yes my monitor is calibrated.
And yes I know Print Preview is not completely accurate, but you can get a fairly good rep. of what the image will look like.
This problem has just started.
I have checked all the obvious.
I went back to reprint an image after a few hours, and this is when I found the problem. All I am asking at this point is if you think I should reinstall Photoshop?
we think you should RE calibrate your monitor.
Will give it another try.
I am just lost as to why this happened in a matter of three hours.
Thanks
is your monitor an lcd? barring that you could just miscalibrated.
Just try everything in your power, When you find the cure (maybe your printer playing up – try printing a test page from your driver,windows photo viewr etc etc or re-install everything or maybe new printer drivers?
try cleaning print heads/check nozzle alingment/quantity of ink (is your status monnitor accurate) if you have USB devices (digital camera???) turn them off AND diconnect while you print.(usb has a certain bandwith and may be used up for a complex photo print)
oh yes when you find cure let us know so that if we have same prob we know how to fix!!
Also you may want to clean the print heads on the 2200–every once in a while you may get clogging especially if you have heavy ink coverage in one area. I have had heads clog between jobs and this may help.
Also check to see if the usb cable has joggled loose between jobs–the 2200 has some movement to it and it can shake the cable loose.
If you are using a secondary inking system (not Epson cartridges)check the hoses– you could have a kink in them.
Last but not least, check to see if you have a malfunctioning cartridge–I had a light magenta with a bad chip in it and that caused me some problems until I replaced the cartridge with a new one.
In the 2200 make sure that the cartridges are seated properly–this can be another cause of weird ink coverage.
Also have you changed the type and manufacturer of paper between jobs. HP/Kodak and low end Epson papers can cause some of the problems you are describing. Check on Epson professional paper to see if your paper is the cause.
Also check to see if you have the Epson color management turned OFF. This setting seems to slip especially if you have closed the file. Make sure that the paper profile in the printer dialog box matches the profile set as your source in Photoshop’s print with preview dialog box. (This is an Epson driver problem.)
Thanks for all the info.
I think I found the problem.
Looks like one of the Photoshop files somehow became corrupt. Someone on another site suggested I check the "proof set up". Don’t ask me why, but I got an error message when I tried to bring it up. I never thought of that as a possible problem.
Did a reinstall, and all seems to be working fine now.
In my five years of using Photoshop, I have never had anything like this happen.
Again, thank you all for the suggestions.
