ps. I have made a few more prints this evening and they seem to not be affected by any green cast, however, I am now getting some vertical banding! any suggestions?

Hi Terry,

Thanks for the reply!

Yes I have downloaded the printer profile for the epson 2200 (mine is a 2100, but they are basically the same as far as I can tell, and there wasnt one for the 2100!) and then set the driver to no colour adjustment.

I was originally getting a strong magenta cast, and found that to be due to double colour profiling, I now have the same problem but with it being more green! I am fairly sure it isn't due to my monitor not being professionally calibrated, as I do the minimum processing and certainly don't muck about with the hue! I am just curious as to whether its the printer, the file or what, as its quite annoying!

Thanks for the resizing advice - Ill start doing that!

Did the attachment send, by the way? Perhaps you could see if it looks funny on your monitor? I am going to try the monitor calibration to the QU P&S tab now and see if it makes a difference.

Does anybody have advice on how to brighten a photo in photoshop thats raw and all within gamma? should it look a bit 'too bright' on the monitor to compensate?

Thanks again, I appreciate the help!

Hi there!

Long time enthusiastic amateur photographer; new to printing, I'm afraid!!

I have finally got set up for printing and have taught myself how to set up my Epson 2100. I use photoshop CS4 and shoot with canon.

It took a while, but after lots of research I managed to get a successful and colour accurate (to my eyes, anyway) print. I am using Canson Baryta 310g paper.

I went on to print a few black and white images which I give a soft split tone sepia to in photoshop before resizing and saving to TIFF format. sRGB colour. No colour adjustment in Qimage. As I have found, most prints come out darker on paper than on screen (understandably). The problem I get with my sepia images is that they have a slight green cast to them, which is a little off putting! Perhaps the colour photos also have it, but its less detectable!

Any suggestions from you lovely, helpful people would be greatly appreciated! It's a learning curve, this printing lark!!!

ps. I have attached an image that has had the green cast issue. It only seems to affect the darker areas. I have epson ink in there, not cheapo!
