Aloha & Mahalo John!

So...what is ImagePrint, what does it do, what do you do with it, how do I try it out? I think I've heard of it...just not familiar.

Aloha,

Hi Stan,

You can think of ImagePrint in many ways. It's a printer driver on steroids. It replaces the driver that came in the box and provides a much more advanced way of communicating with your printer. From the technology side, the bottom line is better quality, consistency and predictability. It's a true 16 bit driver and will reproduce what is in the image more faithfully than anything.

Second, it's a feature rich graphical environment. Like Photoshop is to editing pixels, ImagePrint is to the printed page. Bottom line, once you use ImagePrint you'll never want to print any other way.

Third, it's a solution. We support every paper type worth printing on. Our profile sets include 5 color temps and a gray scale profile used for our famous b/w output technology. Our profiles are of a quality that you most likely could not match on your own so it eliminates the need for costly profiling hardware and software. And if we don't have a profile you need we build the set for free.

There is lots of great information on our web site and you can always feel free call or email if you have specific questions you can't find answers to. There is also a link for downloading a trial version.

Aloha John!

Mahalo for the info, and mahalo for all your helpful tips in getting my LCD display to give me realistic previews for printing. I'm very happy with the results.

Whew! Your Super Driver ain't cheap, is it! On my budget it's going to be a while B4 I can consider anything like that...

Aloha!

WHY CAN"T THIS S--T BE SIMPLE??!!!!

OK...my newest model 22" Gateway HD TFT LCD display is beautiful. I have the backlight all the way down to the lowest level, and the contrast down to 20%, and the Greytag Macbeth EyeOne display calibrator is easy to use, and the display looks great!

I noticed that my prints on Epson Premium Luster paper from my Epson Stylus Pro 4000 are coming out with more yellow than what I see on my display. Considerably more. I made a curves adjusment adding blue to the image, and result was pretty close. Then I called Epson support...

We went over the print with preview settings in CS2, and as instructed changed some of the settings I was using. Ran a print of an outdoor portrait in 5pm sunlight with added flash. It looked real good and didn't have the yellow, so I was happy.

Then I printed some portraits that I had done in studio, and some were good, but there was one in particular that just isn't even close to the image my display shows!! The print is much darker, and redder!

Also, the Epson tech said that for printing purposes, not to use the custom profile preview, (soft proof). He said it was fine to preview in the custom profile, but to switch back to the default CS2 preview for printing...(?)

This is so frustrating! I have a beautiful image on my display, and it prints out like something else! AARRRRRRRRGGGGHHH!

Anybody have experience like this and found a solution? Any ideas? Help, please!
