Hi
This one is really puzzling me...
I've been using my Epson D120 with Rotech ink and the correct ICC Profile with Photoshop CS4 for a few months now. So far I've had pretty good results printing on most items.
All of a sudden I'm getting blurry/grainy images when printing via CS4 using the "Photoshop manages colours" option. I'm overcoming the issue by increasing the brightness of my image in CS4 by approx +70 and selecting "Printer manages colours" when printing - this produces a nice crisp image (just like I used to get using the "Photoshop manages colours" option). Although this method seems to be working fine, it is a bit hit and miss as I don't always get the brightness correct.
Using the "Colour management" tool in Windows Vista's Control Panel, I removed and re-installed the Rotech Profile, but still no joy.
Has anybody else experienced this? I'm wondering if Microsoft has recenlty released a Windows Update which may be affecting the way CS4 is interacting with the Profile? Perhaps a re-install of CS4 may also help - I'll give that a go soon.
Any thoughts/comments appreciated.
Thanks
Barry
