I recently purchased an epson 9880 and am having a bit of a problem with my colours on canvas. I am printing using qimage after editing the image in LR3 and CS5 (where the colours are spot on). Even when I import the images into Qimage and place them on the canvas they are looking true. The issue arises as soon as I click print preview. My colours and contrast go through the roof and do transfer through to the print.
I've tried creating a new profile for the canvas (epson premium matte) using a 700+ colour patch sample using a spyder and the profile was created successfully. My monitor is a NEC Spectraview 2690wuxi2 which is calibrated every few days. Trying different settings in my printer options such as relative, colormetric and perceptual do nothing to change the color. The only time I can get close to accurate color is when I turn printer color management off.
I'm losing my mind trying to figure this out!
