PING Eric: More Printer Stuff

This morning I received an email from Red River Paper offering their
discounts of the month and with one of their hints at solving printing
issues. The issue this time was fixing a magenta color cast in the
print.

There are several things they address the first being one all of us had
suspected, "Double color management".

Next was a blocked nozzle.

Then issues with OSX later than 10.6 (we are now at 10.12). They note
that this particular issue is usually resolved with a minor update
after the major release. Obviously this doesn't apply to you.

Finally, they note that the Epson printer driver has a preview feature
which pops up right after you click "Print". If you are using a printer
profile and the Epson Preview at the same time, a magenta color cast is
likely as the Preview breaks the color management process.

Anyway here is the link to that site:

Sorry for not being Eric but I took a peek anyway... And found a series
of blog entries on star shooting. It's a three parter starting with:

ght-sky.html

Not that it would do me much good:

But it could be interesting for people in Arizona and other clear skye
areas...

Many thanks.

I have on occasion accidentally managed color in both ends of the
process, usually with strange results. I have yet to finalise my most
recent thoughts after my recent tests but I suspect I will end up
letting Photoshop manage colors.

I have got into the habit of printing multiple images at separate
times on a single sheet of A2 paper (I'm being cheap). I have made
some spectacular stuff-ups in the past and have got into the habit of
using print preview as my final check before I go to print that I have
correctly told my printer what I want to print, where I want to print
it and on what sized paper. I have probably been doing this for about
8 years, starting with my Stylus Photo 1800, then the 3800 and now the
P800. I'm not aware of this causing undesirable behaviour with color
management of any of the printers.
