A few years back, I was able to print beautiful prints from Photoshop, using an Epson 4000 and 2200. I then got a Canon IPF 6100, and struggled with learning the processes and different dialog boxes, but using the export module was able to produce nice prints. Then Adobe "improved" Photoshop to CS5, and Apple changed over to Leopard. Now, nothing works, except the Canon export module. I cannot print from my Epson 2200 without double profiling, because there appears to be no way to turn off printer color management. I tried printing from CS4 and from Preview, but neither of those work either. I am using an intel Mac Pro and OS X 10.5.8. Research indicates that printing was "broken" in CS5, and things are not much better with Snow Leopard and CS5 and Epson.
What is the current solution? Are the new Epson printers compatible with CS5? Should I stay with Canon? The export module works but I could never get the same control as with the Epson software, when it worked with Photoshop. Seems the majority of members here use Epson, so I'm hoping things are not as difficult as they appear to me now.
I would greatly appreciate any guidance on how to get up and running again. (BTW, most of my printing is wildlife, portrait, or landscape, on Epson Premium Lustre).
Thanks so much for any help on this.....
