I was trying to figure out this strange problem with printing from
LR and PS to Epson R2880 by using paper profiles.
I think my problem is solved, but I discovered a weird feature of the
profiles and Epson software.
Here is what I was seeing:
Settings 1. Enabled color management by printer ("Standard RGB"),
disabled by the software
-> reasonable colors.
Settings 2. Disabled color management by printer ("Custom -> Off")
enabled paper (printer) .icc profile
-> shift towards green and red.
Now, I also saw that the preview generated by the printer software
(if I check-mark in the printer settings the corresponding box)
was producing the same color shift.
Conclusion:
Settings 2: it works, BUT: the preview is still way off.
I am not sure why, but it's a feature.
More over, in PS, when I choose a profile for color proof, -
the image also shows that same ugly color shift.
I am puzzled why these color-proofing methods do not produce the
expected results, rendering useless (and even worse: misleading).
I should point out that the colors I see on the display in both PS
and LR are very close to the outcome I get from the printer by
printing with the .icc profiles.
