Thanks, but Vuescan has no RAW output it only has TIFF or TIFF DNG,

See attached.
You must have the scanner on and selected in Vuescan for the RAW to show up. Also 48bit selected as shown

Ok Fred thanks, I still haven't received profile prism but seems kind of complicated to make an ICC profil.

I've always gotten the best results by using "Color Control" rather than "No Color Correction" in the Epson Twain Driver (Ver 3.45A).  I have an Epson Perfection 1250 scanner and found that I have to play around with the black and white sliders in the Histogram Adjustment to get the best results (see first snap below).  I'm not at the computer that I used to use, but I think the values were somewhere around 10-15 for black and 240-245 for white.  It's pretty much trial and error, scan the IT8, bring it into PP, set the corners, let it chug away, then evaluate the resultant histogram for low- and high-end clipping (try to minimize the heights of the red bars; second snap below).  Once the optimal values have been determined, I save the setup in the Twain interface so that I can recall those settings for subsequent scans of IT8 with printed target.
Thanks, but Vuescan has no RAW output it only has TIFF or TIFF DNG, which to use? also in the Vuescan color tab just leave it at Neutral? anyway these instructions are outdated as the software have updated, I'd assume there would be more support in here since we buy the software.

Hi everyone I ordered Profile Prism and reading through the instructions even the step by step is kind of confusing, for one in the scanner software settings must be outdated as my epson perfection V37 is different here are the instructions in here
Epson Scanners

    (Use the latest Twain driver available on the Epson web site
    If the scanner begins to scan in "automatic" mode, click "Cancel" to enter manual mode
    Set "Image Type" to "Color Photo"
    Set "Destination" to "Epson Stylus Printer (Photo)"
    Set resolution to 300 DPI
    UNcheck "Unsharp Mask"
    Click the "Configuration" button near the bottom of the window
    Check the "No color correction" radio button at bottom of window and click "OK"
    Other settings should then become grayed
    Do not use descreening if that option appears
    Scan)
and here is a print screen with my scanner, I would appreciate the help thank you.

Hi all, I have an Epson A3 Stylus Photo 1500W and use Precision Colors with this Paper Company (which is very good paper) http://www.photopaperdirect.com/
now I have Color Munki Photo with good results but for some reason my prints are coming out darker than they should, and that is even when I set the Luminance level of my display below 100, what I want to ask is has anybody compared the 2? thank you;)
