profile for somerset photo enhanced?

2006-01-15 by scoopneil

Hi, 

I'm new to this forum, so if this has been answered, please have
patience..I did a search but nothing useful turned up.  I am trying
out QTR for the first time and printing from photoshop CS2 for the
first time. Using Somerset Photo Enhanced with Epson UC inks on a
stylus 4000, printing from Photoshop CS2 from a Mac powerbook. I did
profile the monitor and I get good results printing color from PS CS.
I installed QTR & the included profiles, but did not find one for that
paper. I tried picking Matte paper and the UC-EvelvetFineArt 50 50
warm/cool profiles from the QTR diaog, figuring this would be close
enough, but alas, my print it dark and muddy. Also I wasn't at all
sure how to set the profiles for the first PS print dialog...I've just
switched to PS CS2 and am confused with the changes there. What to
pick under color handling? Let photoshop determine, let printer
determine, or no color management? Then there is printer
profile...should I pick one of those QTR profiles, use the document
profile, or would I be better off making my own? I have monoco EZ
color & a puck but I didn't know if this would help with QTR. Then
there is the question of rendering intent. So honestly, I can't
remember what I set for all this the last few attempts, so I'm ready
to start again from scratch, this time taking notes! Printing color
was so much easier! Any suggestions before I chew up some more
expensive paper? Many thanks in advance!!!

Cheers, 
Neil
