If your prints are "too dark" it's usually because your display is too bright! A well-known 'problem': https://www.colourphil.co.uk/prints-appear-dark.shtml I agree with the diagnosis of the ...

You haven't given any information at all, especially about type of monitor, how calibrated, etc. However, there have been hundreds of similar threads on this, and every other photo forum, and the ...

Hi, I think you'll find that the 670E is more of a CAD or document type of printer and not a photo printer. Also not sure about the longevity of its inks, or suitability with matte paper? Cheers, Phil

Hi Darin, Yes, I think you'll be fine with the iMac! I'm not an expert with Affinity, although I keep meaning to give it a try! Do they have a lot of videos. I suspect they have some softproofing ...

Hi, Monitors only work in RGB, never CMYK. The particular CMYK colour space you are using (and there are many!) will be converted to the monitor's own colour space by the editing software, such as ...

For b&w you should look at QuadTone RIP, which is very inexpensive. Also there's a lot of experience on their 'Community'. Try here first: http://www.quadtonerip.com/html/QTRoverview.html Cheers, Phil

When away from home, I find my Retina MacBook Pro 13in screen is too small in Capture One Pro to do any serious work other than quick viewing and culling images, for which I prefer Fast Raw ...

On my 3880 I set the Platen gap on the actual printer, and in the Epson (Mac) driver I leave it alone. This way when printing B&W I use QuadTone RIP, which doesn't have this adjustment and has its ...

Hi, I appreciate that, but I'm referring to the hardware control panel on the front top of the actual printer! Cheers, Phil

Hi, You can adjust the platen gap with the printer's control panel: 'Custom Paper'. I find this useful when using a non-Epson driver, ie Quadtone RIP. Cheers, Phil

Paper type would be useful as would a screen shot of printer settings. Photo of nozzle check test (you've run one?) would help. Is 16-bit selected? Known problems in macOS Mojave. Printing with ...

Sorry, but it's very likely that your monitor is still TOO BRIGHT! It's probably one of the most common 'problems' on this and every other photo forum. Also use Soft Proofing to the Printer ...

One bug I've had reported from customers, and seen on this forum, is that there can be issues with colour if printing in 16-bit mode. 8-bit printing is fine. Cheers, Phil

John, Sounds like a printer driver fault? The clue being in the 'blues looking cyan'. Check to see that you have the correct driver installed, and not the faulty Apple 'Airprint' one: https://www.c ...

I can't imagine a 'universal' pigment ink! Epson have several different varieties of pigment ink: Ultrachrome/K3/Vivid Magenta/HD, etc. to name a few, and Canon and HP are different again, and with ...

Hi, You COULD be using the dreaded Mac 'Airprint' driver? Note that normally when printing with Application Color Management from a Mac, 'Color Management' is automatically switched off in the ...

It appears that the 16-bit bug is fixed in 10.14.5? Or seems to be with my 3880 over ethernet (via wireless router). Cheers, Phil

The OP is running 'Mojave' which means a Mac, so above which is Win doesn't apply! On a modern Mac when using Application Color Management the Color Management settings in the printer driver SHOULD ...

May help if you provide some more info: such as which OS version? I assume macOS. Where did you download the driver? It could be the very basic Apple Airprint driver. Did you get a choice of driver ...

Absolutely, but the warning does confuse quite a few people on Macs though! Actually Macs have automatically turned off Color Management (when using Application Color Management) for several years ...
