3880 red cast with Nikon Capture + MacBook
Nov 23, 2010

Dear all,

I am new to printing, so it might be a beginners problem. I have an Epson 3880, MacBook Pro 17 inch and Nikon Capture NX 2.

I have a very red cast when printing skin tones. I calibrated my MacBook with the Spyder 3 Express, although this give a very yellow cast (only on my MacBook, PC shows better colors, there is a hugh difference between MacBook and PC after calibrating).

I am printing on Moab Lasal Photo Gloss 270 (gets good reviews) and downloaded the profile for this paper.

But I get a very red cast and there is an enormous difference between the print and the screen in color. Am I doing something wrong? A normal skin get a very bad sun burn color and the print is not usable.

Help.

Regards,
Marcello
