hallo

my printer (epson sx510w) prints the black color too dark (this gives problems, the first is ink consuming)

the settings (=quality of print) available from the software control panel don’t solve the problem (or too bright or too dark)
and
the settings on the machine are related to the ‘copy’ and ‘scanning’ functions only.

I was wondering if
changing
or
replacing
or
opening and modifying
the so called "color profile files"
could be a solution…

But, in what folder are these files?
What are their names and extensions?
Where to find on the web their substitutes?
In the case of opening and modifying, how could it be done? (with modyifing I mean in example replacing the RGB ‘black’ with a ‘dark grey’)

Other ideas?

Hi,
On Photoshop, I have found the gamma corresponding to my printer’s profile. When the picture is correct on the screen and I want to print it, I apply this gamma, then I send to the printer. It works ! Sorry for the bad syntax of my English… 🙂

Do a reload of "all newsgroups" then run a search for ‘epson’. What you may have in the reader is usually out of date.

If still not found, then your newserver is not carrying all the current groups.

An aside – Ecofont – software that saves up to 50% ink by putting invisible holes in the font – only on the paper, not the screen.

Many printers have that ‘built in’, it’s called ‘draft quality’.
