Re: Another Printer Question

Update after a couple of hours of slaving away. First of all, I've solved the banding issue - undoubtedly a little war between the printer and CS6. Probably me - I may have forgotten to turn off a colour management switch so there was a clash between the printer managing the colours and

Re: Another Printer Question

The native resolution of most Epson printers since 2000 has been 1440 dpi (dots per inch). Dots per inch is not the same thing as pixels per inch (ppi) ... a dot is the size of of the minimum ink spot the printer can generate, but it take multiple spots of the discrete inks overlaid to achieve

Re: Another Printer Question

I would guess that the odd number is to avoid it being a [higher] harmonic of something else (native resolution, spatial sampling frequency, ...) I've heard this type of advice to avoid aliasing-related artifacts. I have some intuitive feeling why that *might be* the case, but I don't

Just in case this information could be helpful (related to the suggestions by Mark and Godfrey): I've been printing from CS6 from a Windows computer (Photoshop ver 13.0 x64) on Epson R2880 without any problems related to banding. That's the version from "About Photoshop". So, I don't think

Re: Another Printer Question

You could try letting the printer manage color, that solved a myraid of problems back when I was still using HP printers.  The Canon gives much closer results to the screen image when I do that since I don't have a dedicated profile for any of my common printing papers.   I sometimes get the

Re: Another Printer Question

I'll take a wild guess that there is some sort of aliasing happening in the conversion process. In Lightroom I can print to a file, do you get the banding if you print to a file rather than export to jpeg? On July 2, 2019 10:53:22 AM PDT, Steve Cottrell wrote: >Hi PDML > >Well, I just nearly

Re: Another Printer Question

I dimly recall hearing that PS CS6 has some printing issues on first release that were solved with later updates, but I've never upgraded past PS CS5.1. I haven't used even that in several years now, so it's going away when I buy a new Mac mini. G > On Jul 2, 2019, at 10:53 AM, Steve

Another Printer Question

Hi PDML Well, I just nearly fell off my chair. I have an Epson P50 printer, a few years old and been around the block now, but it still works and the separate ink tanks I like, but generally I don't print photos from it - it's just the House Printer. The Mrs announced she wanted some prints
