I can't seem to use PSE color controls when printing to my R2400 using the SPR2400 PremiumGlossy ICC profile. Whenever I try I get images that are either too dark or heavy in the magenta either on preview and in printing. The attached image shows a print preview which is way too magenta. (the printed image is much darker than the preview would indicate and sometimes too magenta as well) When I turn off PSE color control and specify that the Printer controls color the preview is normal but the image is usually dark unless I specify Photo Enhance.
I use the "Best Photo" option in all cases with premium glossy paper. Images are all sRGB. This problem occurs with a calibrated LCD monitor or without calibration. I bought a Spyder II in an attempt to fix but it did not help. So now I just let the printer control color and use Photo Enhance and with a little experimenting and wasted paper I eventually get OK results; but usually I have to brighten my images on the monitor to where they look washed out - but print OK. Any ideas?
