I have a Mac G5, an HP2335 monitor (with Eye One calibration), and an Epson 4000 printer. I recently purchased Colorbyte Imageprint VI. I use genuine Epson inks, and high-end papers--Epson Premium Luster, Crane's Museo, and Hahnemuhle Photo Rag. I often print out the diagnostic pattern on the Epson just to check for clogged nozzles, and all is well in that regard.
Prior to using IP VI, the color output on my Epson 4000 was, to put it nicely, all over the place. Since installing IP VI, it has become consistent and I am grateful for that.
Here is the problem: after everything else I've tried over the past several months, the color is still off between my monitor and my prints. Generally, the prints look greener/less red than the same image on the monitor. The monitor also shows more shadow detail than the print.
What, if anything, can I still do to bring the monitor and print outputs closer together? I have played around with contrast settings, RGB channel settings, color temperature, and brightness on the monitor, but it seems for everything I improve, something else suffers.
Any suggestions whatsoever will be greatly, greatly appreciated!
(Monitor--calibrated with Eye One, Gamma set at 2.2, native white point. Contrast is currently at 97, luminance at 140.
