Snow Leopard and Epson 7600?

[johnkraus]

Any suggestions on how to get good results out of Snow Leopard and Epson 7600 Ultrachrome?

I installed Rosetta so the printer driver 3.09 does show up and work. But the colors are all off.
Tested on CS4, CS3 and Aperture.

When I hit the Preview button the image looks fine, just doesn't translate to the printer.

Will go through several head cleaning cycles later today, as well as replace my light black cartridge which is low.

Sounds similar to the issues I and others are having with the 2200. I posted a thread here about this earlier today and a couple posts at my blog: http://www.gdanmitchell.com/.

After visiting Epson website and checking on the Snow Leopard supported printers, it would seem that epson will not support that older printer. It is possible that they haven't gotten to upgrade it yet, but I don't think they will, as they probably want to sell new printers. Hope you have a computer with an older operating system that you can still keep the 7600 going.

What I do is use IP installed on a WINXP PC only for this task. Good thing about this setup is that you don't risk crashes and lose your print while editing other images.

OK, 2 solutions seem to be working for printing with a 7600 in Snow Leopard 10.6 and CS4-

1- Print as usual- meaning Photoshop determines colors, color is paper profile. Only change is turn black point compensation OFF.

2- Convert image in PhotoShop to the printer profile, print with all color controls OFF-

John:
What do you exactly do for solution No.2?

Here is a cross post I put on Epson Wide Format: This works with Snow Leopard. Not sanctioned by Epson of course but it only takes 15 seconds or so.

-------------------------------------------

Simply right click on the latest 4800 installer and "Show Package Contents"

Do the same for the 7600 installer.

In the 4800 driver folder open Contents/InstallerData. Delete Installer.data
Then open Contents/Plugins and delete all of those.

From the 7600 package folder copy Contents/InstallerData to the corresponding 4800 folder.
Same goes for the Contents/Plugins items from the 7600 package folder.

This method works with every Epson os x print-driver installer I've experimented with so far. Enjoy.

All the best,
Walker

What problem does this method actually solve?

Here is my post a while back about getting accurate color for the Epson 9600 and Snow Leopard.
