When you print say a sRGB image from DPP and you select your printer/paper profile. Does DPP take the SRGB data and render it in the printer/paper profile and then sent that to the printer, or does the monitor profile play a part. Should it that the sRGB data render that in the monitor profile and then render rom that to the printer/paper profile?

I have a feeling that when DPP is out putting my prints it is ignoring the monitor profile.

Monitor profile has nothing whatsoever to do with printing.

I'd hope DPP would start with the Raw data (not sRGB or AdobeRGB) and render that, then convert to printer profile. Not sure though. Output color space selected might come into play.

What makes you think "DPP is ignoring the monitor profile"? (In other words: What's the problem?)

Yes

or does the monitor profile play a part.

No, the monitor profile plays no part. No reason why it would, it is for screen display only.

Should it that the sRGB data render that in the monitor profile and then render rom that to the printer/paper profile?

That wouldn't make any sense and would probably cause a loss of colors because it is likely that the monitor's gamut is smaller than the printer's gamut. The display pipeline and the print pipeline are separate systems. My computer is hooked up to two screens and two printers.

Yep, so it should.

I was printing an sRGB jpeg that had come from Lightroom. When I look at sRGB jpegs in a non color managed application they look at bit desaturated (see this thread https://photography-on-the.net …/showthread.php​?t=1082213). When viewed in an color managed application they look ok as that application uses the monitor profile. Prints from DPP look like an sRGB file viewed in a non color managed application. I would print from the raw file but as I'm using Lightroom then that won't work from DPP and I have not yet tried printing from Lightroom.

What settings used in DPP and printer?
What paper(profile)

Might be that the image has colors that are beyond the papers gamut…

I think I have solved it, windows had installed a generic driver so I switched back to an Epson driver. I also changed from Photo RPM to Best Photo.
