Richard, I did a series of test last week on Epson 'Photo quality
paper'. Working space Adobe RGB, print space Epson Pro 5000, perceptual.
In the advanced settings it was set to colour adjustment, 'No Col
adjustment' . Result very dark, looks like a 2 stop under exposed
tranny.

Also tried Pnt space: Printer col Man and in advanced, No Col adjustment
with exactly the same result.

Using Advanced 'No adjustment' and wking space and print space both as
Adobe RGB, the result was the best, but it still looks a stop under.

My old trick with the Mac used to be print/ working space Apple RGB and
then ICM selected in advanced - used to be perfect.

In summary, all print outs are very dark. I have no problem with my
Canon and previously I had an Epson 1200 which worked fine and gave
outputs to match my screen ( which was and still is Spyder / Optical
calibrated). As I said a total mystery that that 1200 gave good colour
on windows, the 5000 has always been an issue??
