 Hi all. I have an Epson 970 and some Marrutt fine art paper and the colours on the printout outs are too dark and cold. After doing research i downloaded the adobe colour management utility and i am following the you tube videos for PC (windows 10). on the tutorials it says to go into the app and select 'print', then to go into Mode and turn colour management off. I don't see an option for this. I don't have photoshop or any fancy photo apps so that isnt the problem. I am definitly within the utility app. I have attached what the you tube video displays compared to what i am seeing. Hope someone can help 🙂 Thanks

    1: that doesn’t look like an Epson driver to me but perhaps something generic, the real driver should show actual paper name such as "Premium Luster", "premium semigloss'

     

    2: If Marrutt (or another service) are wanting you to print the target out for profiling, then printer color management does indeed need to be disabled and they are the ones to support you on this, the option to disable colormanagement is part of the printer driver software, not an Adobe program. It's sometimes hidden in an advanced section.

     

    You wrote: I don't have photoshop or any fancy photo apps so that isn't the problem. 

    That will very likely become a problem when you want to use the ICC profle made for you, you can't use an ICC profile in the Adobe Color Print Utility, its only intended use is for printing colour patches when making profiles.

     

    I hope this helps

    Thanks so much for taking the time to reply. So I think maybe just print it off with the settings I use through the utility? And send that off to the paper company for the profile? 🤔 🤔

    I took a closer look at the manual, it might be possible to turn color management off after all.

    Set Color management to ICM,

     

     

    then set Color correction to Custom, and click the Advanced button.

    The ability to turn off color management is a feature usually found with dedicated photo printers.

    You seem to have an all-in-one printer, which might not have this feature.

    I looked at the manual for the XP-970 online, and there is no mention of color management.
