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 or Print with Preview instructions for Adobe Photoshop on 
page 59 (for Mac OS X) or page 55 (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 61 (for Mac OS X) or page 57 (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.

Printing a Custom Profile Test Target

Follow the steps in this section to create and print individual custom profile test 
targets for each paper type you plan to print on. For Mac OS X, see below. For 
Windows, see page 65.

Mac OS X

1. Open Adobe Photoshop and open the profile target file provided by your 

profile-building software manufacturer.

2. If you see a missing profile screen, select 

Leave as is (don’t color manage)

.

3. Select 

File > Print with Preview

.

4. In the Print window, click 

Show More Options

, then choose 

Color 

Management

 in the pop-up menu.
