Wow!!!look at that light I haven't seen light like that since last September.

Great shot by the way.

Dave

Thanks Hefty. I cleaned the heads three times as it suggested in the manual when you have aprint quality problem.

Once again purple cast when printing either direct from memory tick or from photoshop .



Dave

ok guys, Thanks for the great response.

Stefan , as always you provided excellent support if you were closer a number of locally brewed beers would be in order.

I have worked my way through all the information, carefully reading Stefans link and the above photoshop printing technique (this is actually in the editing suite and not in the organiser)

THE RESULT IS failure

I have copied the same picture to a memory stick and printed directly from that. The picture still came out with a purple cast.

So now I have to contact Epson I think to see what they have to say...(not much given the price of printers i bet) or just dump the printer and get another...

For sale one epson printer with purple cast...any offers???


Thanks again evryone

Dave

Thanks for all the suggestions. Please excuse me whilst I digest all the information and try some experiments.

I will be back

Dave

I have reloaded the printer software from the Epson site.

My montor is calibrated with a Pantone Huey.

Operating sytem Windows XP

Photoshop elements 7

My photoshop elements and the printer are both set for SRGB.

The printing mediem is set for the epson photo paper I have.

The result is always a purple cast and changing the colour management sttings has no aparent effect.

So... do I give in?

Dave

Barrie thanks - yes I think I was picking up a reflection

Bretti_Kevi yes is a little dull - it was a case of photographing in the shade. I like what you have done

I think I should attend a class in how to stop being lazy and learn to use photoshop. I think printing some out would encourage me. Viewing on the screen does not help me 'look' and review at a photograph properly.

Dave

Jack,

I love it What magic did you do to lift it?

Dave

Thanks Peter,

I have been trying to print this on my Epson RX685 with elements 7 and Epson paper. I have windows XP. Whatever settings I use, the whole picture prints with a purple cast

I have tried solving this before and got fed up and left the problem. This time I am determined to sort it out.

Now I know it is not my computer or monitor I need to work on getting the printer to commuicate with it properly!! I think I will ask the boffins at Epson.

Dave
