hello! I've seen an Epson Stylus Photo 1200 in my local ads for £45, just wondering if this is a good quality printer. At the moment I'm using an epson photo r200 and I'm not happy with it. All the prints I do seem very yellow and the shadows are just compressed to black :depressed

I turned off colour management and the prints came out way too dark and i converted the picture in photoshop to the epson profile just didn't seem to make any difference. If I convert it to the espon profile but then use the printer driver to set it to gama 2.2 it comes out the right brightness but too yellow and not enough red!!

I've calibrated my monitor also. I just don't know what to do :bawling:

Please help me with my icm woes!

Don't convert to the Epson profile, use Print with Preview and load the Epson profile there (assuming you still have it turned off in the printer driver).
