RE: epson 2400
Godfrey's procedures are similar to mine, with the difference that my colour printers have always been used for both document and photo printing, thus they have been well-exercised. With one (very) early exception, I've always used HP printers: currently have a one-year-old HP7770 A3 which does an excellent job, and an HP1100 B Laser which I bought in 2007, and is still going strong. I only ever use genuine HP inks and toner, which may help to explain their longevity.

Re: epson 2400
Yes, I believe you are right. And the ink may be drying out.

Re: epson 2400
One of the things that many people don’t realise is that whenever the print heads go through a cleaning process, they do it by squirting ink through the heads. The ink falls out of the bottom and into ‘wells’ usually packed with foam. These wells become full over the years until ink literally spills out of them and usually gets dragged around by the heads and you find streaks on the paper and all sorts of mess. To empty the wells is simple. You’ll need a plastic syringe. Depending on printer model, I have found one of the best methods is to open the lid, switch the printer on, and as it goes through it’s initial setup process at each power-on event, the heads will move along the rail a short ways - it’s while they are away from the ‘parked’ position that you have your finger on the power switch at the wall - or have someone standing by ready - and just switch off at the wall. This will depower the machine with the heads out of position. I have done this on various printers over the years to no ill effect. After all, there has to be circuitry inside that can cope with a natural power failure without causing damage. You then insert the end of your syringe into each well and suck up all that horrible black mess and empty into a container of your choice. You’ll be amazed at how much ink was sitting there lurking beneath your print heads! Give the area a good mop up with paper towel. To finish, simply power back on and the heads will go through the setup process again and park where they normally do. Some printers you can manually move the heads along the rail while the power is off, but by no means all. Hope this helps someone!

Re: Epson 2400
Could very well be build-up on the feed roller(s). If the rollers don't grab the paper right in order to feed it into the correct position the sensor just tells the machine to eject the paper. On my R2000 there's only on driven roller, all the rest are merely guides. Use an alcohol pad or small piece of cloth saturated with rubbing alcohol held against the feed roller(s) and press the paper feed button. Do that a couple times and you should get the roller pretty clean.

Re: PT LR 4.4 and Epson 2400 printing
I've never used LR on Mac, so, I am not familiar with possible peculiarities. On Windows, it works this way: There are some LR print templates that set the page size, and some others that don't. So, it is a combination of choosing the template and "page setup" that is needed to be done in a particular order (to preserve or set the page size, and to get the template suitable for that size). I just looked, and my LR has a 4x6 and a 5x7 print templates (#1 and #3 on the list, respectively) that are for a letter-size paper. If you are choosing those, that's what might be happening. But if you were to choose, say 5"x7" under "page setup", and then choose "maximize size" standard LR template (toward the bottom of the list), - you'd get the largest printable size on a 5"x7".

Re: Lightroom printing and the Epson 2400
I didi the conversions etc in LR then went to the print module. The canvas was set at 8x10 as from my previous print job, that went well. As i only wanted one 5x7 and used the Epson 5x7 paper, i set the guide lines on the canvas to 5x7 and then when the Epson print box popped up i set the paper to 5x7 there as well. Then all it would do is print part of the picture, about 3x4, in the LRH of the paper. Is there a fit to page option i may have missed or center on sheet.?? I'm sure i missed something here., Like i mentioned the 8x10 printed out fine with the canvas guide set to 8x10. The template used was the single sheet one.

Re: Lightroom printing and the Epson 2400
In LR, first use the Page Setup button to pick a printer and page size/ orientation. Then use the Printer Setup button to bring up the driver dialog and set up the printing specifics for the paper type and quality you want. Now set up the print formatting in LR... Layout, Overlays, Print Job. Then print.

Re: Lightroom printing and the Epson 2400
You changed the paper size so the printer put a same ratio print to paper size. Leave the paper size as 8x10 and when you specify 5x7 it will print 5x7.

Sorry, another Epson 2400 problem
Hi all. Last week my 2400 was working fine. This week its printing out dark. One print had an sRGB colour space look to it even though I'm printing in Rgb. For some reason, when i went to print this morning, all my settings in print preview were changed. I reset them and printed. Same results. I notice now, where i only had Adobe rgb 1998 as an option in the upper left drop down menu i know have an output option, that was never there before. I cleaned the nozzles and no effect. Only thing that has happened that i know about from last week is, i unplugged everything this morning for a small Thunder shower. and the other day lucy the kitten jumped from a ledge onto the printer top, about 3'. Any ideas what to do next,. Could that landing have caused any problems.?? I ran my Spyder I before i did the prints last Friday and all was well. This is frustrating.

Re: Sorry, another Epson 2400 problem
So have you tried going back to your original reference file for the photo, with the embedded profile, and printing from that? The customer file was evidently stripped of any profile information, which means you need to profile it properly and readjust it for printing.. If you are not keeping a reference file for work you sell, well, you ought to be... It's the only way to assure that you can reproduce exactly what you've done before. I keep a reference image file of a grayscale and macbeth color chart handy so I can proof the printer in case there is any question against prior print runs, like when I change ink carts or change monitor/printer configurations.

Re: Epson 2400 BW help
Have you tried using soft proofing in PS? Open a photo that you have already printed. Then go to ViewProof Setup then select Custom... and in the Device to Simulate drop down list select the appropriate printer/paper profile, then click OK. You can turn the soft proofing on off by pressing Ctrl+Y (or cmd+Y on the Mac). If everything is going well you shouldn't see much of a change on screen. But If you do you can adjust the image to suit with soft proof on. I use the soft proof technique to good effect.

Re: Epson 2400 BW help
No i have not Dave. I'll try. I calibrated the monitor Tuesday, again, and did some colour prints today. The colours on the horse and jumps are fine, but nowi see the blue sky has some greyish to it and my sand is darker than the monitor. I assign rgb colour space when printing. Maybe its just a cleaning to fix up this snag, as the prints i made two weeks ago were spot on.

I'd love to help Dave, but my PC is still down for repairs.

Re: Epson 2400 BW help
Like Dave Savage, I print in BW exactly the same way that I print in color. I'm using PSCS. I set the ICC profile to the paper type in Print With Preview and make sure the color space that I'm printing in agrees with that of the file. In the print box I select the paper type, then check to make sure my print settings are Advanced with hi-speed off and usually Best or RIM? quality.

Dave This sounds pretty simplistic but while your image is in photoshop try just sliding the brightening lever over a bit when ever you print bw - so that the image on the monitor is lighter than you want... I have the 220 with the PC - Even when I covert to black and white I keep the profile RGB and adjust the color to have a slightly blue cast on the monitor to get it to print to a cool bw.

Re: Epson 2400 BW help
I use exactly the same setup to print BW or Color from Photoshop CS2 on Mac OS X. The Print W Preview dialog and Epson R2400 printer dialog settings are detailed here: http://homepage.mac.com/godders/R2400-CS2-print/ Only changes in recent months is that I have some of Epson's optional paper profiles for Enhanced Matte and Velvet Fine Art available now. I find very very little difference using them compared to the original profiles shows in this page. (I tested using Best Photo with High Speed turned on and off. No difference on an A3 print that I could see, but it took twice/three times as long to print with it off.) I've never printed with Glossy paper or the Photo Black ink with this printer, always with matte papers and the Matte Black ink.
