Go to Print Preview probably under File.
It will pop up this window.

Set the red arrow on Photoshop Elements manage colors
Blue arrow on the paper you're using.
And if you click on the green you should get this window (or if you press on your printer and ask for his properties)
Set the printer like this


(you might want to click on border less in the last window)
Click on okay and it should bring you back to the Print Preview window and check if the red arrow is still set on photoshop and the blue one on the correct paper you're using.
If all is correct it should now print with the ICC profile.
Please note I don't have photoshop elements or a Epson printer so don't hang me if I got it wrong.

Dear Stefan,
You're welcome. Thank you also for your valuable feedback and information
provided as we were not previously aware that the Cactus V4 may have
compatibility issue with this flash model.
This matter is very strange indeed as from our in house testing, the we were
able to use our Pentax AF-540FGZ flash and V4 up to the maximum sync speed
limited by the camera manufacturer (e.g. 1/160s for Sony and 1/250s for
Canon).
However our testing conditions is under 10-30°C in humid weather, as pointed
out by the forum thread, the instability with AF-540FGZ may be due
to weather effect. We will ensure to examine the effect of cold weather
(say below 0°C) on the stability and sync speed of V4. It is possible that
this is not caused by temperature or humid condition but by regional or lot
variations of the flash. We will ensure look into this and make amends to
our listing appropriately.
Thank you again for your understanding and feedback. We hope to see you
again in the future!
Best regards,
Darren Chan

In an email earlier I could get the product refunded, since it did fire the flash all the time I'll have a play with it a bit more hoping I can get it to work.

Who are you calling an odd member ??? Lol
Looking at the top10 then maybe mowog, Pentaxophile, Aero, P_H_I_L_L, me (Anvh), chris_je, PeteL, Pwynnej (great you named Clockwork Orange ) & gartmore.
The rest seem to play in tune quite well and don't look likely to name very strange titles for their top11 to top30, although I could be very wrong with this.
Just for fun my top30 would be in no real order.
1. A Clockwork Orange
2. Se7en
3. Princess Mononoke
4. Spirited Away
5. Ghost in the Shell
6. Millennium Actress
7. The Place Promised in our Early Days
8. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
9. El Laberinto del Fauno (Pan's Labyrinth)
10. Der Untergang
11. 5 Centimeters Per Second
12. Pale Cocoon
13. The Matrix
14. Star wars (original trilogy)
15. Alien
16. Paprika
17. The Lion King
18. The Dark Knight
19. Fight Club
20. Indiana Jones
21. Ringu
22. The Blair Witch Project
23. Ju-on
24. Marebito
25. Lord of the Rings (extended)
26. Schindler's List
27. The Silence Of The Lambs
28. The Crow
29. Good Will Hunting
30. Kite
Honourable mentions.
- Face/Off

- Pirates Of The Caribbean
- The Sixth Sense
- Terminator
- Back To The Future
- Scream

Somehow the honourable mention list was easier to make then the top30...
I believe I named 50 now...

They both say f/# so f-number or a better worth focal ratio since it's an ratio between the aperture and the focal-length.
Aperture itself is giving as a diameter and not as an f number, if I've it right.
Hopefully someone else can shine some light on this.

From what I have read, contrast control, (where the output of two or more flashes is controlled) is only available when the flash unit(s) are hard wired with off camera flash cords etc
This makes of course sense if you can use the build-in flash as master in P-TTL mode you need some control over how the flash power is distributed between the flash-units that are used or do I say something strange here?

I've heard that the user interface is not all that super but like said the flash is powerful and it does all the things and tricks.
The entry level flashes are just as complicated but have just one or two tricks less or have other limitations.
Just have a play with the flash you'll see how the interface is like and that will say enough if you like it or not.
