Trouble printing with Lightroom and Epson 2880

[vincentim]

<p>Dear all,<br>

I just acquired an Epson 2880 and started printing B&W and color prints.<br>

I'm very pleased about the B&W prints, but the color prints have strange colors (greenish cast) and I suspect this is a color space thing.<br>

I'm quite new to color management so please forgive me if I ask stupid questions, but here are the options I have on the Epson box when printing in Lightroom (I do have a calibrated monitor btw):<br>

Automatic<br />|- Epson Standard (sRVB) <br />|- Adobe RGB <br /><br />Perso. <br />|- EPSON Calibration<br />|- PhotoEhance <br />|- Desactivated (no calibration)<br />|- ICM<br>

I picked Adobe RBG and got green cast. Shoud I try another one?<br>

Thanks for your help,<br>

Vincent.</p>

<p>Make sure you have turned off Color Management in the printer driver, by setting it to ICM - None and turn on color management in LR.<br>

Then make sure you have the correct paper/ink profile installed, and selected in the LR printer module.</p>

<p>Thank you so much Charles, it's working great now that I turned off the color management in the printer!<br>

Best,<br>

<p>Here is a color management tutorial to help you with color management. It goes over Photoshop but not lightroom though it is very informative.<br>

<p>That greenish cast is a tip off that both ends (printer and software) were trying to manage the color.<br>

Glad to help<br>
