Hi,

I am running an Epson 3000 however my question is more operating system related I guess.

My printer is installed on a PC that have a server function so that I can access the printer from more locations as it is shared.

The printer is set up with a default color profile: <NONE>
In the printer properties - color management there are two (2) options:

1. is "Windows automatically chooses the best profile" and
2. Manual

If I choose "Manual" I assume that windows is not trying to do anything with colors but it happen that if I open that tab again it schwitches back to "Automatic" and is greyed out.

The question is now: If the default is <NONE> can I be sure that the driver is NOT using any color corrections? Or is windows using some sort of profile in the background anyway?

Thanks for any clarifications.

Hello and welcome to the Forums!

I am not enough well versed in Windows Colour Management to even guess an answer. However, have you check with Microsoft Knowledge base? This might be a good place for Windows related information on Colour Management Workflow.
