RE: 2000p calibration, and Gen5 question

["Artistic Photography" <zone6@golden.net>]

We are using the 2000p with Epson ink and mostly premium luster Epson
paper.  Since we stopped using the original boxed cd driver and
downloaded the newest one we had better prints, no problem with them at
all.  The metamism thing seemed to all but disappear.  We use Photoshop
7 on windows xp.  The monitor is calibrated with Adobe Gamma and we set
the printer options color settings to give us the closest match to our
screen.  Mike

Subject: 2000p calibration, and Gen5 question


Hi all,

I'm new to this list, but have been active on the 2000p and DigitalBW 
lists for a while.

I had a couple of questions for everyone -

Firstly,

I'm using a 2000p and just obtained Profiler Plus in the hopes of 
getting more accurate color out of the printer. So far, my results 
have been a little odd - in order to get good color out of my 
profiles I've really needed to crank up the magenta, which gives me a 
soft-proof that's completely, wildly inaccurate, but which prints 
reasonably well - is this normal?

Also, because of having troubles with color on my 2000p I've been 
considering switching over to the Gen5 inks - I'm wondering if any of 
you could share your experience with them to help me form a decision. 
things that are important to me - the ability to print on 
glossy/semigloss media (I especially like the Ilford Galerie media) 
and the ability to get reliable, accurate color (after profiling of 
course.)

Thanks very much :)
