In a spasm of activity, I recently installed Leopard (10.5.2), PS3, and the the Appeture 2.1 upgrade. I then took a month off from printing anything and now I can't get anything to print remotely correctly. I'm using an Epson 2400 with Epson Premium Lustre paper. All prints (no matter from what application (PS3, PS, or even iPhoto) are completely washed out. But the soft proof in both PS2 & PS3 shows them as they should be. They just come out utterly washed out. I have recalibrated and reprofiled my monitor (Apple 23 HD). I've tried to print old, successful prints and new, just converted ones --same result. I've tried to print from PS2 and PS3. I've re-read all my notes from (esp from Michael and Jeff's DVD). The one interesting item is that when I print from PS and get to the regular Printer dialog box, if I click on the Preview button at that point, it will show a washed out image similar to what actually prints (but completely different from the soft proof).
What did I do? How can I fix it? Sorry if this isn't in the right spot but it seemed better to ask here than in the Printer area?
