Need help calib my 1800. Maybe I can't see a tree because of the forest!
I calib. my monitor with Spyder2PRO and all looks good. I also loaded the PrintFIX PLUS that I created a ICC profile for Epeon's Glossy paper.
I follwed their proceedure and printed out samples till I got the correct print.

I then went to print a photo,I made useing PSE-4 with adobeRGB, with the 1800 software useing the profile that I made. Prints came out too dark...I then went back and built other profiles and adj. brightness and contrast till I got a good print of that pic. I then printed another pic in the same series and the print was over exposed about 1f/stop compared to the monitor.

Questions: When I go in to the first print preview screen to select the Printer Profile the image looks just like the monitor. I then go in to the property screen and select the paper, photo, size, etc..I also go to and shut off the ICM. Then I go to print preview from there and the screen now shows a way over exposed image. I've tried this with Epson profiles, the one that came with the soft ware and a new downloaded one I just got off the Epson link with the same results.

Also, my pics are in AdobeRGB, should I remove that profile then go to print and assign the ICC profile?

I know this sounds long winded but have anyone had this result?
Will be greatfull for any help....Thx Gregg

Gregg,
There is a thread about Epson R1800 printers on the Nikondigital.org web site.
When you get there click on forums and then click on the printing area. Others are having the same issues as you. Check it out.
