3 November, 2009 - Mac / Photoshop / Epson Profiling Problems Solved
If you have a Mac running Snow Leopard, run Photoshop CS4, and use the latest Epson printer drivers, you may have a problem creating proper printer profiles. In fact, it may be impossible to do so.
This problem has been driving people nuts for many weeks, and the Net is full of complaints, finger pointing, and half-baked solutions.
Last week
Mark Dubovoy encountered the problem, and being a very fussy fine art printer as well as a scientist by profession, he set out to find the source of the problem and also a solution if possible.
He polled a wide number of the industry's top printing and colour management gurus, and a very intense round-robin email discussion ensued.
Adobe computer scientist, and avid photographer,
Eric Chan, researched the issue, discovered the cause, and came up with a work-around which Mark and others have tested. It works.
The nature of the problem and how to deal with it is now detailed in a new exclusive tutorial titled
Solving Profiling Issues With Apple Computers, Epson Printers and Photoshop.
