It appears you are saying canned profiles for this printer do not produce neutral prints? If not, it may be an unsolvable issue... If X-Rite tools can magically fix it and Datacolor ones cannot (and this happens once in a while in one direction, once in a while in the other) then you may be obliged to choose your profiling tools accordingly. If neither one will produce neutral prints, you'll probably need to accept that the printer is not going to print acceptable color, and at your options for a newer printer.ok. i repeat, what i've written in my very recent posts: my printer (epson2100) produces a cyan-green color cast . spyderprint turns it in a green-yellow cast

ok. i repeat, what i've written in my very recent posts: my printer (epson2100) produces a cyan-green color cast . spyderprint turns it in a green-yellow cast and blue becomes purple (also see message 3386). i understand how the application is working, i understand the manual etc. the swiss supporters examined my printer and the spyder device which seemed to functioning correctly. we discussed the problem and questions of drivers and settings (photoshop manages colors, no color adjustment by the driver etc), however there was no solution. - i've tried a lot of different driver settings as well as the gimp print driver. the color cast is clearly visible in every case. The epson support said there might be a problem with the datacolor software or device; the swiss datacolor support said, there might be a problem with the epson 2100... i hope to find some better answers here. - as we know, x-rite products allow this printer to print blue color. how is it possible to achieve it with spyderprint? thanks for your help. christoph --- In datacolor_group@yahoogroups.com, CDTobie wrote: > > > Sorry, can't tell what you are saying, or what you are asking, or what you are referring to.
