You could do the same thing at less cost with QuadToneRIP, though you would also need the Print Tool to make sure that you are printing with No Color Management. The Colorbyte software is almost certainly mixing in some of the other colors to produce a neutral tone print. I suspect that with in ABW mode you are using primarily the warm tone carbon inks with your printing. The K inks in Epson printers are carbon black and very warm in tone. Here is the same image printed from ImagePrint by ColorbyteĪt the moment, I am at a complete loss as to why this is happening, and I am at the stage whether to either invest in ImagePrint or whether the new P800 would eliminate this issue.
RIP SOFTWARE FOR EPSON P800 DRIVER
Here is a scan of a test file through the ABW driver using the Dark Tone I am using a Mac and under system preferences this is what the driver version is reporting. Surely, this means that my printer is working does it not ? or does ImagePrint not even touch the Epson driver ? This got me wondering if there could be something wrong with my printer so I downloaded the Demo version of ImagePrint 10 and even under the heavy watermark they plaster over the image, the tones look much more neutral than than my original version. Just recently, I got a friend to print the same image on his R3800 which he uses ImagePrint by Colorbyte and I was amazed just how neutral everything looked compared to mine. I mainly use the ABW but I am getting the same results if I let Photoshop Manage the Colors and print through an Epson ICC profile or one that I have personally created with the X-Rite Color Miunki.
RIP SOFTWARE FOR EPSON P800 DRIVERS
I am quite savvy when it comes to printer settings and programs so I know its nothing I have done in software. NEW printer drivers for Canon PIXMA Pro-200, imagePROGRAF Pro-300, PIXMA G500, G600series drivers for Epson EcoTank ET-8500, ET-8550, SureColor SC-P700. The issues are that they appear to exhibit a warmish tone. One pass white and color, no need for two passes for dark t-shirt/products.
