When printing from Photoshop CS2 on my Epson R800, I have chosen to let PS manage colors, and selected the R800 profile in the PS CS2 dialogue box. When I get to the printer dialogue box, I have selected ICM from the advanced screen and then turned off the Epson profiles.
I find that I am seeing two problems.
1. The print always comes out far darker in PS CS2 than when I print the same picture from ANY OTHER program (including Elements 3.0) and far darker than on my screen. I can save the picture and then open using another program and it prints fine! Other programs faithfully reproduce what I am seeing on my monitor which I have calibrated numerous times with Adobe Gamma and almost never get any variation in settings when I recalibrate, so I am assuming that I am doing that part consistently.
2. When printing B&W, the first print comes out as nice grayscale (although darker than on screen). Subsequent prints of the same image (with no changes) will have a strong color cast to them as if the image has been tinted. Most frequently it is a magenta tint.
Thanks
