Not sure if I sure sort out one question at a time but the other issue is white border printed uneven as you can see in the image above.  Although this just might be my paper holder not being very snug leaving room for movement.  This is what my screen looks like so if it's something I didn't set correctly maybe someone can tell me.  Thanks for your help.

The printer is brand new and these are only the 4th and 5th prints.

Thank you for your patience Terry.  I believe I have the images working in the posts above.  Please let me know if not.

I will do a nozzle check first thing in the morning.

Yes, I can see them now. It does look like there's a colour missing - or a mis-match of profiles.
In addition to the nozzle check , can you show us a screen shot of your driver settings. They should be more-or-less the same as the screen shots below.
I assume you have the paper profile set correctly (Epson profile?). Is that paper set in the driver?
What colour space is showing for the image, hover the mouse over the thumbnail and the colour space is shown in the QU exif bar at the bottom - extreme right of the data. If it has asterisk around it is embedded so should be ok. If not embedded in the image it may just show sRGB (default). Is it what you expect from your scanner?

Terry

I carefully followed all the setting selections as shown in the videos.  No color management was selected.  Nozzle check was fine.

I have printed on Epson Ultra Premium Presentation Matte with the correct paper selection previously.  For this print I selected presentation paper matte to match the paper I used.  

Terry, Is this info you're referring to?  I don't know what my Epson Perfection 4990 scanner does but the scans and prints (not printed by me and on a variety of medias) come out matching the original artwork.



I have to say that the first print on this printer was made on Inkpress luster paper and it came out perfect and beautiful.  I will use it for certain artwork that require that paper.  It is just a bit too 'photo' for certain artwork reproduction.  I would also like to print on lightly textured paper to resemble watercolor once I get this matte paper sorted out.  

Does having had a perfect print indicate the settings on all my devices are compatible?

I want to thank you all for your help.  I really appreciate it.

Thank you for the screen shot.  Here's mine.



The printer paper profile matched the QU paper profile and matched the paper used.

I know this is more of a photo forum so what I'm trying to do is a bit different.   While most are printing photos they shot I am scanning drawing/paintings and printing them to look like the original artwork.  It's obvious when the color is off. 

I don't even know what I'm trying to say except this is daunting, all the different ways prints come out.  I'm trying different papers, settings and artworks and different programs to print with.  Photoshop is pretty off.  QU is more green and blue overcast on the different artworks I've printed.  ACDSee, although off on color, is actually the closest, when I print on the basic Color control Epson Vivid or Fix Photo, which I tried out of curiosity. 

I want to sell prints of original drawings but can't seem to get colors to match close enough or know where to start fixing.  Crazy.

Thanks for all your patience.  It's hard to trouble shoot something with so many variables.
