Work flow: Nikon Coolscan scanner, Lightroom and Photoshop CS6, Epson 7600 and 4900. Good nozzle checks on both. Epson Premium Luster paper.
Here's my issue. My family has been diving all over the world for the past 30 years. I have literally thousands of underwater slides. With the above set up, I decided to scan and print some of my best slides. Most of what I consider to be my best, involve a color that I would call "deep ocean blue". In scanning the slides I have the settings recommended in the book "The Vuescan Bible". The scan looks perfect on the screen, but when I print it, the print will not reproduce the deep blue on the scan. The monitor is calibrated, I used the the Epson media print profiles and tried letting the printer manage the color all with the same result. I printed from both Lightroom and Photoshop...same result. Both printers also produce the washed out blue effect so I don't think it's the printers. I also re-scanned the slide changing the color gamut with no difference. I adjusted the color with the sliders in LR and got some really strange results. The color in the rest of my printing efforts is good to excellent with pretty much WYSIWYG.
I'm pretty sure the issue has something to do with the information contained in the scan, but what? I have attached a couple of pictures taken with my cell phone. One of the screen picture and the other of the printed picture. I apologize for the quality of the pictures, but I think you will get the point. The deep blue is just not there.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
