Epson R1800 and Mac OS X Leopard

[kmack67]

Has anyone else been dealing with the lack of Epson support (read-updated driver) once going to Leopard? My printer is still perfect but the prints aren't the same since upgrading my operating system. Not sure what to do next.

Have you re-calibrated your monitor color profile?

[kmack67]

No not specifically. I will say that before I just used the inherent screen calibration on my iMac and all was right with the world. Screen looked like inkjet prints looked like Mpix prints. No muss, no fuss.

Are you using version 6.12 of the driver? There is also an update to that driver that Epson provided in June of 2008.

For me, everything prints with way to much blue. I was trying to do some black and whites and everyone came out with a blue hue. It was fine with 10.5.5, but on 10.5.6 I have run into to this problem. I did a search and there are others with the same issue. No response from Epson either.

Do a hardware calibration of your monitor. Without that you don't have any kind of baseline. Don't expect the 1800 to do good B&W. I have one and set up a 1280 with dedicated carbon inks and a RIP to get good B&W.

Actually, everything was calibrated and working fine until I moved to 10.5.6. My B&W have been fine, not great, but fine. I never had a blue hue to them.

What did you calibrate it with?
