Hi everyone.
I recently went over to a MacBook Pro shortly after buying an Epson R2400. On my main Windows desktop PC I get what I see on my monitor when I print from it. The monitor is calibrated using a Spyder 2, I use the Epson ICC profiles, the latest Epson driver, and follow the user guide and Scott Kelby's excellent book re CS3 and printing.
I do exactly the same with the MacBookPro - even to the extent of doing a fresh, custom, installation of the OS (10.4.10) without installing any of the generic printer drivers on the installation CD. The printer driver I use is the latest one for the Intel-based MacBook Pros (as mine is - 15.4", 2.4Ghz).
When I press the 'preview' button imediately prior to printing, the image is washed-out, the skintones are significantly redder than the main image, and the green grass very vivid.
I get the same result on my Powerbook G4 using the appropriate driver for the Power chip.
I could understand it happening to the new MacBook Pro and blame the driver, but the same effect on both?
Anyone with some helpul advice?
