the colors in Adobe Illustrator have changed.

Question

Hi everyone,I recently installed an Epson printer on my computer, and since then the colors in Adobe Illustrator have changed. When I open older EPS files, the colors look very different from how they originally were.I already uninstalled the printer, restarted my computer, and made sure the color profile settings are the same as before the installation — but the colors are still off.Has anyone experienced this before or knows how to fix it?Thanks in advance! &#128591;

Hello, we managed to find where the problem was. When the Epson software was installed, it changed the default Windows color management to some Epson profile. We returned the standard one and everything was fine.
Thanks for the help

That is a default setting and the installation of a color printer should not change color in Illustrator.

EPS files do not have ICC color management (but some have an additional .ai file saved within, which is color managed and will open in Illustrator).

Are you talking about Proof Color preview?
