That could well be a function of the white point setting on your
monitor or another calibration variable. My iMac 24 monitor is set to
native white point, and it's calibrated every couple of weeks. The
color temp that my Epson R2400 delivers with the Epson ICC profiles is
identical to what I see on my monitor.

I've found my Epson factory ICC's to be a tad warm.
They weren't "bad" per se, just not nearly as good to
my eye as the custom built ones.

Have you tried printing from "Print with Preview"

Photoshop? I find that it works better with
profiles
than other programs. Also, make sure to turn color
controls OFF (under "Color Handling:" slect "No
color
management"), do that AGAIN under the print dialog
boxes when selecting paper size, oreintation, etc.
The only other suggestion I have is not to use
generic
paper profiles, even one supplied by paper
manufacturers. In my experience, they're never as
good
a creating your own.
ColorVision makes a spectrocolorimeter to read
color
swatches printed on the paper you're creating the
profile for. It works works much better than any
manufacturer files I've tried. However, there are
tricks to doing this correctly, as well. It took
many,
many emails back and forth to colorVision to
finally
establish a working, consistant procedure (at
least
for some of the Epson papers I use).

Hi Everyone:
Well, I'm stumped:
I have correctly downloaded and installed some
ICC
paper profiles from
Brilliant Museum (matte satin white) & MOAB
(white
satin). I finally
learned where to save to & how to install for PC.
These two profiles show
up in Lightroom. I also have chosen "turn off
color
adjustment" in the
printer dialog box as all the directions say to
do,
so there is no clash
between printer & ICC profile. I've done some
test
prints, and the color is
hideous--reddish & black--and dark
So I tried my usual settings with these two
papers
that I've never printed
with before--B. Museum & MOAB: I chose Stylus
Epson
2880, Perceptual, Adobe
RGB in the printer dialogue box and the proper
media
type (as I use when
printing on Epson papers), and the prints come
out
normal and a virtual
likeness to the monitor.
I must be doing something wrong--I know the
general
view is that ICC
profiles are supposed to give better print
quality--but I just can't figure
out what I'm doing wrong.
Any suggestions?
Cheers, Christine
