I have not used this printer in many months. Read a lot of posts on net where people say they have used ink up to 2 years after expiration date without problems. When I printed the test for the nozzle check, the yellow looked very light.Ĭhecked expiration date on the ink: August 2012. I wonder if there's something wrong with those ink cartridges. You see how the reds and yellows are lacking.
The colors not exactly right in the scan, but you can get the general idea. I'm attaching a jpeg of my file and a scan of a print (on Epson paper looks very similar on the Ilford paper). Settings that I changed from what I had before (per Epson ReadMe): used Superphoto 2880 instead of 1440, checked "high speed," media type to Ultra Premium Photo Paper Luster. Basically same result as on the Ilford paper. Found a couple sheets of Exhibition Fiber in sample pack, printed on one. I downloaded the Epson profile for Exhibition Fiber, installed, used settings in the ReadMe for the profile, printed on the Ilford Gold Fibre Silk. High Speed, Flip Horizontal, Finest Detail uncheckedīlack Point Compensation is checked (unchecking it didn’t help with color) Media Type: Premium Photo Paper Semi-gloss (selected per Ilford Read Me for Galerie Gold Fibre Silk)
Epson 3880 printer icc profiles driver#
Advanced Color Settings: “Epson Driver Color Management is Off” Below are the settings I used:Ĭolor Matching: Color Sync and EPSON Color Controls are greyed out If anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong, I'd appreciate it. One thing they said to do which I didn't do was "select ICM" in the printer setup box (I didn't see anything like that). The instructions were written for earlier version of Photoshop, so they didn't exactly match what I was seeing on screen. I believe I followed the instructions in the Read Me that Ilford supplied with the ICC profile. I must be doing something wrong with the settings in Photoshop. This is my first real effort to print photos on the 3880. The photo is in Adobe RGB (1998), 16 bit. I have a hardware calibrated Eizo monitor, have had photos printed at labs match what I see on my monitor, do print design work all the time - so the problem is not on monitor end. The colors in the print were not just slightly off, they were totally out of whack, missing most of the reds and yellows. I attempted to print on Ilford Galerie Gold Fibre Silk with my Epson 3880 with horrid results.
