Hi Matt, and all, >>I've noticed a marked change in my printer output using a custom profile over the past couple of weeks.
I've seen exactly the same thing over the last few weeks - 1290. Fotonic CIS, onto Ilford pearl, and standard fine art >>A greyscale on my test print is now printing with a blue bias. I'm using Lyson Fotonic Inks with an Epson 1290, and the same paper stock. Nozzle checks seem OK, but I've done some head cleans just to be sure. Same for us! >>Nothing else has changed, & If I soft proof the profile it looks OK, so I'm assuming the profile hasn't been corrupted or anything like that. I've double checked all the printer driver settings & nothing has changed. I've heard about printer drift before, but didn't think it could be this drastic. Almost the only thing that I can think of, in our case is that the weather has been awfully nice - could it be a feature of heat / humidity...? Or maybe, the bright cold light is playing that metamerismic thing (strange though that it doesn't do that with older prints - so that's discounted)... It would be interesting to know what's causing this, because it is making life a tad tricky Richard Wills lists <at> richardwills dot co dot uk =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
