Prints too dark and loss of saturation - need help
Hi all,
I know you must have heard "my prints are too dark" very often - at least those of you who print at home. But I am facing here a situation I do not understand, and maybe some of you will be able to help me out.
I print on Ilford Gold Fibre Silk paper, using an Epson R2880. My Monitor is a NEC PA241W, calibrated using an i1 Display Pro. Truth be told, my monitor is certainly a tad too bright - but I am aware of it and do not expect my prints to be that bright.
In C1P, before printing I do some soft proofing with the ICC profile downloaded from the Ilford website to see how much I can push in terms of brightness. Once ready, I print. In C1P print box I ensure that the right color profile is selected (Ilford's one), put the rendering intent to "Perceptual" with Black Point Compensation. Then I click on print, which opens up the system's print window (I am on a Mac). I make sure that the color settings is set to "Off" and that the media type is "Epson Premium Glossy" (as instructed by Ilford). Finally I get my printer running and look at the result... which is really not looking good: much darker than on my screen and a rather large loss of color saturation.
I was very surprised as I used in the past to print through Capture NX 2 going through the *exact* same steps, and every time I got exactly what I wanted, with the right amount of brightness and color saturation. Since I did not use CNX2 for a while, I decided to do a test with the exact same photo, doing some adjustments to bring it to a level close to what I had in C1P. Then I printed from CNX2 and ... I got exactly what I had on the screen.
Does anyone has any idea of what I am doing wrong ? I love printing my photos and this is really becoming a headache. It is really as if C1P was either not using the color profile at all, ignoring it, or ... I don't know ☹️
Thanks for your help !

I believe it is important to establish, whether the differences you are seeing can be isolated to either the editing process or the printing process.
Why not save to tif from CNX2 as well as from COP8, and then compare the two, say in CNX2. If the COP8 version is visibly darker it will be the editing in COP8 accounting for the differences. If not, I'd print the COP8 tif in CNX2 to see if that results in a print visibly different from a COP8 print, in which case your COP8 printing will need to be looked at.
Cheers,

Dear Morgens,
Thanks for trying to help and answering so quickly. Your idea is very good in the sense that it can surely help clarify where the process is going wrong.
So I followed your idea. I started by exporting my photo in TIF format from COP8 and loaded it into CNX2. The result, on screen, is very close to my work on CNX2 with some subtle variations due to how much better COP8 is. But colors and brightness wise, 95% the same I would say - COP8's TIF is no way darker than CNX2's.
Then I printed the the TIF coming from COP8 using CNX2, and again my printout was exactly what I had on screen. So there is definitively something wrong when I print from within COP8. As I wrote in my previous post, it is as if COP8 was ignoring *something*, as if it was using another profile entirely.0 -
Hi Jacques,
I really cannot find fault with your use of the COP8 Print Dialog, leaving only the printer driver setup to ponder.But since you're using the exact same driver settings whether printing from CNX2 or COP8 that points straight back to the COP8 Print Dialog.
I'll have to admit it; I'm fresh out of ideas. Only thing I can think of which might provide some insight would be to see screenshots of the COP8 Print Dialog, and of the printer driver settings.
Cheers,
Mogens0 -
Hi Mogens,
Here you are...
COP8 dialog:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3660538/COP8-printwindow.jpg
Printer Driver settings:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3660538/Mac-printwindow.jpg
Between CNX2 and COP8, the only difference is the COP8 dialog (as I do not change the settings for the printer).
Any idea is more than welcome 😊0 -
Jacques, I checked on the Ilford web-site for the profile to be used. It said
GPGFS13 EPSr2880 EPGn.icc
, not the same as you have been using?
Cheers,
Mogens0 -
Also..I do not have an Epson printer myself, thus cannot know for certain that printing from COP8 to an Epson printer without issues is possible.
Maybe someone with an Epson printer would like to comment on this.
Cheers,

Personally I don't print from C1, and here's why.
I 've used Lightroom as my printer but LR would now and again lose settings causing wasted paper.
I didn't care the way C1 settings worked. You see, I use an Epson 7900 and needed nesting and C1's nesting was crude so it wouldn't work for me.
I'm getting to my point now 😄
My solution was to use a third party printing software. It was the best decision I have ever made. I don't waste any more paper, and the screen matches the print.
I narrowed my choices down to Mirage and Print Tao. Mirage came out on top, only because Print Tao doesn't support gallery wraps.
Anyway Print Tao for your printer is about $99.00.
You could easily create a recipe, sending the print directly to Print Tao and get what you need.
Get a trial version and see f this could be a solution.
I am in no way affiliated with either company, just a guy that hates to waste time and money.0 -
Dear Mogens,
Good catch 😊 And also thank you for pushing so far as to go and download the profile to double-check... your help is greatly appreciated !
You are right, they have a new profile. This new profile was generated due to a rebranding of their paper (I think it happened last year or 2 years ago), but the paper is exactly the same. I am using the profile they provided before the rebranding, hence the change of name.
Note that on my side I am still using paper that I bought before the rebranding (yep, I have made some stock). Also, if this profile was the issue, I believe I should have the same problem under CNX2.
Indeed, if any Epson user would have a look at this thread ... ! If not then I will have to open a case at Phase One, but I am not sure how far they will be willing to go.
Again, thank you very much Mogens for trying to help 😊0 -

Thanks for your reply. I'll definitively have a look at Print Tao as the price seems reasonable and they have a trial to help me make up my mind. I must admit though that being able to print directly from C1P would : 1. save me time; 2. same me money (if it worked). I'd also like to understand if I am doing something wrong...
Anyway, I'll try Print Tao in the coming days for sure.0 -
Jacques, your very careful and detailed description of the problem makes one want to help...
I should mention that I myself have printed from CNX2 and COP7 (not sure I did any as yet from COP8), without issue.
I believe that at this point I'd try to print from COP8, with Color Profile set to "Managed by Printer".
Cheers,
Mogens0 -
http://www.quadtonerip.com/html/QTRprinttool.html another option for a printing tool you could test. it is very easy to use.
just did a quick test with an epson 4800 and a custom profile - c1 prints fine no problem. but there is a bug - black point compensation should not have an effect when perceptual rendering intent is selected.
1. i would check if you have an actual printer driver installed and the os uses the epson and not the os driver
2. maybe the nx print is wrong test it with other printing software
3. check your monitor calibration, what settings are you using ?0 -
@Mogens
Very interesting hint you gave me. I tried this morning to print from COP8 with Color Profile set to "Managed by Printer" and guess what: the printout is exactly the same as when I select the specific Ilford ICC profile (too dark and loss of saturation). In other words, it looks like COP8 is completely ignoring the profile I set ! I guess I'll have to open a case to PhaseOne support team immediately. Thanks for your insights 😄
(edit: case 158897 opened)
@Jimmy
I downloaded PrinTao 8 last night, set it up and printed. Or at least, "tried to" print 😊 Not sure why but when I click on the Print button, it sends something to my printer (the heads move for a few seconds) but then nothing happens. I have already sent an email to their support.
@Horseoncowboy
I had a look at QTRprinttool, but it seems to focus quite exclusively on B&W prints, doesn't it ?
1. I am not really sure how to check this to be honest. I had a look at Epson website and they say that for the latest drivers on Yosemite we should use the Apple update tool - so it looks like they do not provide separate drivers anymore.
2. I'll try with PrinTao 8 as soon as it works 😊 Wouldn't see why CNX2 would be wrong though, I used it many years without issues and always happy with the results. But you are right, I ought to try with a separate software.
3. By settings you mean which color space ? Using i1 and Basiccolor I am very close to Adobe RGB.0 -
1. print tool works independent is simple & cheap
2. go to system preferences - printer - select your printer - options - general - what does it say ?
3. most important is the relation between your monitor luminance setting and the light under which you check your prints so at what luminance level did you calibrate your monitor ?0 -
Hi Horseoncowboy,
1. I will try it out - but are you sure it works also for color photos ? I am asking as all the documentation I see focuses on B&W.
2. Thanks for the pointer. It says "Device Name: EPSON_Stylus_Photo_R2880", "Driver Version: 9.00" (latest it seems, as per .
3. My monitor is calibrated at 150 cd/m2. Kindly note that I am absolutely aware that my monitor displays a brighter picture than whatever I will print, but I am ok with this and understand it. All my prints with CNX2 are exactly as per my expectations (less brighter than on my monitor, but perfectly accurate in terms of colors and saturation).
Thanks again for trying to help! Phase One support has already answered to my case and for now they are asking me to provide more information. I'll update this thread if something comes up.
Still, if any of you uses Ilford Gold Fibre Silk paper with Ilford's ICC profile on an Epson printer, please let me know if you have the same issue.0 -
I am having same issue running c1 8 on Mavericks for an epson 3880.
Prints are darker and have a desaturated/cast to them. This is with both printer managed and non printer managed printing using epson luster profile. It does seem to be ignoring the profile. I have latest epson drivers for Mavericks.
When I export to tiff and print from photoshop or a RIP (efiexpress) prints are fine.
Will see if they can resolve your case and will open a support case if they need more info.0 -
Hi,
Happy to see that I am not alone (but sorry for you too of course 😉).
Did you have the same issue with COP7 - if you had COP7 of course ? Note that I run on Yosemite, so it seems that it is not related to the version of OS X. At least that may help finding out where the issue is.
Thanks for your input !0 -
Never had any issues with C1 7 but that was not Mavericks.
The more I think about this is it may not be a profile issue given that it happens with both printer managed and non printer managed. Will see what support has to say.
I still have c1 7 installed. I will post process the image in 7 and see what the print looks like.0 -
my guess is that the driver is not native epson but an apple gutenprint version driver so the profiles don't work. but maybe i'm wrong.
if you don't have a lot of print presets i would recommend resetting the print system http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201539 and than add a new printer. sometimes this solves nasty problems.
150 is very high for a screen to print match http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutor ... dark.shtml
...and of course print tool works with color images0 -
Hi Horseoncowboy,
Thanks for the link to Apple's page. In fact I already did a reset as I had an initial problem whereas I could not print at all (had a "Filter failed" issue). So I started from scratch again and yes, had to rebuild my presets. In other words, we can rule out this lead, unfortunately.
Regarding Apple's drivers, I am not sure what they use. But Epson's official homepage request their customers to update the drivers via Apple Software Update, so I would guess that they either provide the drivers to Apple, or that they trust Apple do do a good job. And if it was the issue, why would Capture NX2 print out correctly ... ? Seeing that another COP8 customer has the same issue leads me to think that something is wrong with COP8 itself (even more so as this person and me are on different OS X versions).
Yup, I know 150 is pretty high 😊 Unfortunately my screen is in a room which has a big window, so I need to push the brightness a bit. But again, I am fully aware of this and do not expect the brightness of the print to match my monitor's. Thanks for the link though, I will read it thoroughly.
I'll try Print Tool too later this week.
Thanks again for all your inputs !0 -
Hi Jacques,
I think you and I may be having different issues and mine may be more image specific. I took an image that is in both my ver 7 and ver 8 catalogs of an evenly lit egret ( I made copies while I evaluate ver 8 ) and is post processed in engine 7. I printed in c1 7 and also in c1 8 and the prints are the same. I upgraded the engine to ver 8 for the image and the processing is slightly lighter and the print seems ok (it is very slightly lighter.) I have found c1 to process and print in a more contrasty and romantic fashion than other processors and the test image I was working with in 8 has mixed lighting (hawk in tree) as opposed to the ver 7 egret which has even bright lighting. The hawk shadowy area seems to lead to a weird dark yellow casting in areas of image.
I have to conclude that this is something in the print engine (every print engine has a little different rendering ) and I hit on a situation that is being magnified.
I would like to have c1 be part of my print workflow but I may just settle on using the RIP software and figure out its print sharpening.
I have created recipes that create the tiff and drop them in the RIP queue so thats pretty cool.
Good luck and I will continue to evaluate the print engine with other images.0 -
...so guys, when using a RIP, how should I export them, as a 16 bit TIFF with what colour space?, ProPhoto?
I was printing before with Aperture, sometimes I did not have any luck due to some issue with it. My monitor is calibrated on a 4 weeks basis, the luminance is 120 candelas per metre and 2.2 Gamma. Before I used to create my own ICC profiles, now I use the ones from the paper provider.
Somewhere I was reading that the mayor issue related to dark prints or too light ones, is due to the monitor, it is usually to bright or to dark.
I am thinking of using a RIP software as the one recommended by Jimmy, however I would like to know if according to your experience, this is needed or not, and how I should set the recipe to export the files that will be printed (my printer is an Epson R3000).
Cheers,
Daniel0 -

Thanks for trying on your side. It might be that we have a different issue indeed. On my side the difference is very noticeable, and what bugs me the most is that whether I set an ICC profile or not, COP8 will give me the exact same print.
I am still discussing with PhaseOne support (kudos to them, they are following up very quickly!) and hopefully we will soon find out the what the problem is. I was requested to take a photo of the two prints side-by-side (the one which I get from COP8, and the one I get from CNX2), so I will also put it there in the forum. Excuse the low quality and weird white balance, I took it with an iPhone. But you can very easily spot the differences (check the colors overall, especially in the center of the image, and then the brightness in the grass at the bottom and the trees on the right). The top print comes from Capture NX2 (RAW adjusted in COP8, exported as a TIF, loaded into Capture NX2 and printed from there with Ilford Gold Fibre Silk ICC profile), the bottom one comes from COP8 (and again: whether I select the ICC profile or not, the print comes out *exactly* the same).
(I do not embed the image directly as it gets cropped automatically).
@Daniel
Hi Daniel,
Please do not take offense, but I believe you should start a new thread entirely if you want to receive specific opinions about RIP softwares. It will certainly avoid confusion 😊0 -
Hi Jacques,
I am wondering if you can get more info for troubleshooting....
On the print dialog you can redirect the print job to a PDF file or Post Script file.
It would be interesting to see what the pdf rendering looks like.
I am not sure where in the driver process the redirect to PDF occurs, but, it may give you more info.
For me, the pdf matches the print preview soft proof with icc paper profile. It does not show the weird shadow cast so don't know what to make of it. I do see the print sharpening and can change rendering intent and the PDFs reflect these changes. The PDF does have the white paper border and reflects the print size so it is pseudo output. I was hoping the PDFs or postscript file (you can open the file in TextEdit) showed which profile was used, but, that info doesn't seem to be available.
You may also want to create PDFs from CO and CNX2 and compare to see if that sheds some light (so to speak.)
Funny ... I may use the PDFs option to soft proof in the future so I can zoom and see image full size with sharpening and rendering intent in place. Learn something new every day 😉
good luck0 -
@ dasle
forget buying a rip ! with modern printers it is a waste of money unless you need nesting or picture packages or other production comfort. quality wise you gain nothing. better invest in a spectro and make your own profiles !0 -

Do you mean printing then the PDF or just watching on the screen ? On my screen, the PDF is exactly the same as what I see in COP8. But I did not try to print it... at least yet, as PhaseOne support suggested me not too for the moment. I have submitted them my photo with my adjustments, as well as the ICC profile I use. They will check what they get on their own Epson printer.
I have tried to print the TIF file from Preview (the utility available in OS X) but the output was horrible, even less saturated than the print from COP8. I "assigned" the ICC profile but I am not sure what it really does as there is not option about rendering intent, black point compensation or even bypass of the printer managed colors.
For me the lead so far is that my prints from COP8 do not change at all, whether I chose a specific ICC or not.0 -
Hi Jacques,
Yes just check on screen to try see whats going on right before the data is sent to printer and also to see if changing profiles makes the pdf change and also see if the CNX pdf is brighter than CO pdf.
But, unless your curious about all this, I think it may be a wild goose chase and its only use would be to provide support with further details. Since CO support is looking into it, perhaps wait to see what their findings are.
I would like to hear what their findings are.
if you do want to investigate further, you can see if CO is applying the ICC profiles by saving and comparing two saved post script files of the same image using different profiles. You can run a Terminal window 'diff' command to compare them.
If you want, you can also put postscript files of the CNX print and the CO print using same profiles in the DropBox and I will take a look and see if I can spot a pattern of what is different.0 -

I think I am going crazy 😊
I print a PDF from COP8 (with the ICC profile), and the output (the PDF) is exactly what I have on screen.
I print a PDF from CNX2 (the TIF file exported from COP8, also with the ICC profile), and the output is horribly over-saturated and too bright - remember that this same TIF file, printed out from CNX2 on my printer gets me exactly the colors I expect and see on my display (no over-saturation).
I guess people will start thinking that I'm messing with my settings, but I assure you I am not. But I must be doing something wrong somewhere ... ?? Note that the two files have very different sizes, the PDF from COP8 is much bigger than the one from CNX2.[quote="NN634892121077937682UL" wrote:

I have an on-going discussion with them. So far they printed my file and got a print very close to what I would expect... so they cannot reproduce my problem. But they are willing to follow-up with Epson, so again, kudos to them. I'll also reply back to their last comments as I have further questions, and I will update this thread accordingly.[quote="NN634892121077937682UL" wrote:

That is really very kind of you to help me so much! So what I did is the following: I saved 2 postscript files from COP8, 1 on which I applied the ICC profile, and 1 other on which I did *not* apply the ICC profile. Remember that I get the same output (print) whether I apply the ICC profile or not in COP8.
The two files have different sizes, so something is happening...0 -
Hi Jacques,
Viewing the PDFs, I guess the question is if the CNX pdf contains the brightening and saturation boost needed to print the image on the Epson correctly to account for darkening/etc the way you like it. Are you sure there are no settings in CNX to brighten or boost saturation that may be hidden somewhere. If this is not the case, then need to figure out what print prep is being done or why the same print driver is creating such different output pdfs.
What we do know is that the data, just before being sent to printer, is dramatically different.
On my system when I create PDFs from Photoshop and CO, the PDFs are pretty much the same. Photoshop version might be just a tad lighter and I mean just a little (it took me a long time to see a difference.)
I did notice that the PDF generator referenced a 10.9.5 version (Mavericks) and the .ps is 10.10.1 (Yosemite) but the same driver generated both PDFs so I dont think that means anything.
The two .ps files definitely show different profiles are being applied since the encoded image data is the only thing different about them and reflect what I see on my system when I use two different profiles.
Could you post a .ps file of the CNX print so I can see if there are any *EPIJ settings that are different.0 -

The only thing I do in CNX2 after having opened the TIF is to print it. The print dialog box from CNX2 is rather simple, and you can see that my settings are also no different from those of COP8. So in other words, I do not - at least myself - boost anything before printing in CNX2.

You know, there is another interesting point: in OSX print dialog box, usually you can see a preview, right ? Well, the preview of the photo I am about to print when coming from CNX2 is also over-saturated.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3660538/OSXPrintDialog-CNX2.jpg
In COP8, I cannot see any preview.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3660538/OSXPrintDialog-COP8.jpg
So, first you are right: for whatever reason it looks like CNX2 is sending a much more saturated and much brighter than what I see on screen - and in the end, the print from CNX2 looks like what I have on screen. Then, I am also wondering what COP8 is doing different which in turn prevents OS X to display a preview.[quote="NN634892121077937682UL" wrote:

Where did you notice this difference of version, on your files or on mine ? Out of curiosity I checked the properties of the PDF I generated, with Adobe Reader. I can see that both reference the same PDF Generator (10.10.1).[quote="NN634892121077937682UL" wrote:

I have no clue what *EPIJ settings are, but certainly I can do that 😄

Hi Jacques,
I ran a diff command on CO .ps and CNX .ps and there are some differences. I am not a post script expert so not sure exactly what they do .. some seem to related to whitepoint and colorspace.
Keep in mind, this post script analysis is only a possible reference point to see whats going on behind the scenes when CO and CNX is printing. Normal image printing, as far as I know, does not use post script.
Heres a dump of differences. The lines beginning with < means the value was in the CO with profile .ps file.
The lines with > are whats different in the CNX .ps file

At this point I am not sure where to proceed. CNX could be boosting for printing and you cant really compare the prints and you may have to come up with a new print prep workflow without the boost.
If you want, if you post the tiff I can print here and see how it matches my screen. I am calibrated at 83cd.0
