I have posted articles to the Paintshop Pro's Usergroup (www.pspug.org) and
am also trying this newsgroup to see if anyone can shed any light on how to
configure a printer for colour matching to the original.
I need to create a printout where the result is as near to the original
picture as possible in terms of colour and exposure.
I am aware that different papers absorb ink differently and produce their
own results but there must be a means of generating a sample to set this up.
Whe I used to do photography - I used different papers - and I would select
the paper with the gloss/satin/matt finish and perform a test strip (with
each photograph) with different exposures so that I could select the setting
with the best exposure for the finished photograph.
Surely there is a means of doing the same for digital photography??? Isn't
there???
The story so far...
I am using Paint Shop Pro 7.02
I have tried scanning and adjusting the RGB balance accordingly, but after
many failed attempts have started to ask for help.
I have since set the correct ICM profile for the monitor (CTX 1765D) and
also the printer (EPSON CX5200) and in the printing preferences, but
although this is a little closer - it still leaves a lot to be desired.
I would try using the Laptop (WinXpPro) but it's screen cannot be set to an
ICM profile so that option is unavailable to me.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance
Terry.
