    Ricoh GX 7000 setup

    I have a inherited a Ricoh GX7000 printer with sawgrass inks.

    At the moment I'm getting pale and yellowish mugs. placemats etc. Not bad, but I'm sure it should be better.

    I'm wondering if I've got the right settings in Photoshop. Do I need to correct the image in terms of saturation, density, colour etc before I print?

    Can anybody give me help with the printer driver settings, I'm confused with the settings in the print dialogue box:

    What paper type (plain, inkjet plain etc)

    "Printer manages colour or Photoshop" ??

    Any other settings i should be looking at??

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    First, print a nozzle check to make sure you have no blocked nozzles.

    If you have Sawgrass's Powerdriver then use that to print, otherwise obtain an ICC profile, install it, and disable your printer driver colour correction. Make sure you let Photoshop manage colours.

    Normally, I'd use the plain paper, high quality settings to print.

    What paper are you using?

    I've just discovered that i should be using the Sawgrass printer driver not the Ricoh one.


    I've downloaded it and hopefully this should show a big improvement.
