I Am Stumped with Epson R1800, CS3 and OS X 10.5.4 -Dark and Orange shift.

2008-08-17 by grandpollo

I just bought Printfix Pro - it did a great job on on calibrating 2
monitors. 

I then profiled Epson Premium Glossy paper on an R1800. The output
from the test proofing ( the groups of 4 pictures of the 16 total
pictures) look great, so the profile must be right.

So I try printing various pix via CS3 and my printer, including the
PDI test image. Horrible. Very dark, very red, huge colour shift to
orange. Heavy shadowing.

I ran as many troubleshooting tests, clean nozzles, etc., when
printing with the Epson profiles the results are OK. The PDI print
looks good, especially flesh tones. 

CS2 running in OS X 10.5.3 ( I have CS2 to use Genuine Fractals as I
am too cheap to upgrade GF to whatever version it is now and I use it
rarely) prints with the custom PrintFix profile great.

Any ideas, tips, experience really welcome.

Oh, I used the 3.01 version of Printfix from the web site - the CD
that came with it says 1.X on the CD.
