Solving Color Management Problems
If you selected the wrong combination of source profile, printer profile, and color
management settings, you’ll get unexpected results. Try these solutions:
■ If your printed image is darker than expected and/or has a strong yellow-brown
cast, you probably turned off color management in both Photoshop and the
Epson printer driver.
Return to the Print with Preview instructions for Adobe Photoshop on page 54
(for Mac OS X) or page 57 (for Windows). Make sure the Source Space -
Document option is not set to Untagged RGB. Also make sure you selected the
correct profile for your printer in the Print Space - Profile menu.
■ If your printed image is lighter than expected and/or has a strong light blue cast,
you probably turned on color management in both Photoshop and the Epson
printer driver.
Return to the instructions on page 56 (for Mac OS X) or page 60 (for Windows).
Make sure to select Off (No Color Adjustment) in the printer driver Advanced
screen or Color Management menu to turn off color management in your Epson
printer driver.
