lanierb Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 <p>I'm using ICC profiles with an epson R800 and most of the time they work pretty well. However, sometimes I find that when applying the ICC profile certain areas of a photo become blocky and muddled. Here's an example: <p><A href="http://www.stanford.edu/~lanierb/photos/test1.jpg">Original file without ICC profile</A> <p><A href="http://www.stanford.edu/~lanierb/photos/test2.jpg">Version with ICC profile applied</A> <p>When I print the photo it looks something like what you see on the screen, not good. For images where this happens I find I get better prints not using the ICC profile, though in that case the color isn't as good in the rest of the photo. If I use the ICC profile the color is better elsewhere but there are these blocky sections. <p>What is causing this? Have I done something wrong? Is there a way to fix it? Is this normal? Thanks!

akocurek Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 That has happened with me too, and it only seems to be happening with greens! I haven't tried to print those files without using the profiles yet, but I may go back and try. I have not contacted Epson about that yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_wollenberg2 Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Head over to the R800 forum at photo-i and check out the topic Printing Green Problem. http://www.photo-i.co.uk/cgi-bin/ikonboard/ikonboard.pl?s=3fd47928478affff;act=SF;f=40 The problem is discussed, understood, and solved. Apparently the R800 confuses some older profile making software, including the one used by epson to make the supplied profiles. A poster put up new icc profiles for premium glossy and premium semigloss that work great. Theres actually 2 itterations of his new icc profiles so make sure to get the latest. mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanierb Posted January 29, 2005 Author Share Posted January 29, 2005 Thanks! I just tested the new profiles and they are much much better! I've wasted a lot of time, ink, and paper on this problem so this is very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christoffer_mollenbach Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 The forum at Photo-I seems to be down. Is it possible to post the profiles here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
