EPSON STYLUS PHOTO R3000 ART PRINTS DRIVER
The sample has been printed by the laser printer in the office.(perfect) and home by my r3000 managed by LR and by the printer driver itself. I isolated the problem using a lab ramp for Black and white and the sample shared on this topic. color density set to -12 I tested it, but is not enough.ĭo someone know more about this kind of problems? Nothing was enough to sort out the problem. DARK PRINTS. bad outcome. unreadable since the first quarter of the ramp. We tested a black and white ramp with lab settings. So I worked with a friend of mine expert in profiling. the profile was good, (monitor) the settings good. I checked under the sunlight, under the led light of my phone, under the office lights. always UNDEREXPOSED. Someone would say: " do you check the prints in the right environment?" I tested even the brightness option on Lightroom, and a setting of 40!!!! makes the prints shaded but with a good exposure. So I tested the Ilford Galerie gloss 310, the Canson Baryta 310 and the Canson gloss 270 with the right ICC profile selected.Īll prints were DARK, very DARK after the histogram of Lightroom moved by 1.8 stop of exposure on the right, a pyramid with the peak on the highlights, the print becomes nearly good. I changed my settings in Lightroom/Photoshop using the Adobe program to set the printer with the paper ICC profile. I always found the prints too dark, something like 2 or 3 stops in the shadows wasn't really a problem working with Epson settings before, just letting the Epson driver work with 10, 15 points of brightness was a fast solution.Īfter the ink replacement, I re-calibrated the monitor to d50, 80 of luma and a lab profile with displaycal, in order to be able to have the right workflow. Hello, I started fine art printing with a used Epson r3000.īought in excellent condition, I tested many papers type and printing settings with the already mounted compatible LCL inks, and after 2 weeks I changed to the OEM by Epson.
