Bluebells too purple

[trefor]

I took a picture of some bluebells, did a raw conversion saved as a Tif and the colour looked spot on. When printing (Epson R300) the overall colour is fine. EXCEPT the bluebells are not blue but purple. I am using the Epson R300 profile in PSCS, but with all my tinkering I just cant get the printer to print blue
Any ideas? . . Please
:)

You could go into hue/saturation and modify the colour there. Or you could go into the Epson advanced print set up and manually take a some red out of the image (red + blue = purple doesn't it?).

One of two things is going on: your monitor is showing you blue when it's really purple, or your printer is taking blue and printing it purple. You need to adjust one or the other. I routinely take some magenta out of the printer when I'm printing reference sheets with my Epson C86. The same image will print just fine in a lab but has a little too much magenta for the C86.
