I'm trying to get to grips with printing out Colour Photos (on an Epsom R200). I can print colour images to A4 (ordinary paper) without any problem, but if I drop down to 6-by-4 on photopaper (having told the printer there's photopaper there) the result is impossibly dark. I can't cure it (sufficiently) by increasing brightness and reducing contrast. Any ideas, please?

TIA

have you bought the photopaper from epson?

I know that with epson printers you need to use their paper for this type of thing and you cant buy cheaper alternatives due to the way their ink drys.

Try using the ICM profile in the print driver instead of the standard print.

This should solve it

FitzScoob: Yes, Epson Paper in use.

Lightning101: "ICM" = what?? Do I make the change through the Epson Printer dialogue available through the XP Photprinting Wizard? Or should I switch to the Epson "Photoquicker" software?

TIA

Yes in the printer dialogue - go to advanced settings and select ICM profile.

This worked when I bought some reallt expensive photo paper a while back for my old R200.


I have changed to a proper photo printer now though - Canon ip8500.

Thanks, Lightning101! Success
