Default Epson R2400, colors

Hi all,
I have a R2400 connected to a Mac. I have a Samsung flatscreen monitor.

On sceeen the pictures look ok...but they look terrible when printed.
Too dark, too red.

I'm using the epson software like 'photoquicker' and the epson easy
printing software.

From the Epson site i downloaded the most recent driver and also the

additional profiles for 3 kinds of Epson paper.

If i compare it with my with my Canon 9000, the Canon colors look more
'lively' and more 'real' , and they are more similar to the 'on screen'
colors.

What could be wrong??????

Kindest regards,
Peter

Too dark, too red suggests you are using a colour profile twice. Double
disaster.
It very much depends on the program you are printing from, how to correct
the issue but it is relatively easy. In Photoshop you can do it with a few
clicks of the mouse. Unfortunately you have not provided any information as
to the application your are using.

Your problem is that your using a Mac. Epson printers
are well known to be incompatible with a Mac when it
is connected to a non-Mac flat screen monitor.... :-)

Hilarious, you're.

Do you have access to Photoshop or PS Elements?
