Just installed latest update and colours from LR when printing to my Epson Pro 3880 from my iMac are now way off. Lime green is showing as a pale dark green and colours overall are very muted. Colours perfectly matched before the latest update. Hope someone may have a solution? Can't print my photos with the colours this far off. Soft proofing does not help either. Cheers.
Consider completely removing the printer drivers. Then downloading fresh new drivers from Epson, and install. Make sure you are installing the latest drivers.
You should always test output using good color reference images designed for that task. The color reference images RGB values are such they are set for output and are editing and display agnostic. Test the output this way and examine for the same color issues so we know it's not your image specific issues causing the problems:
When you say, "Colours perfectly matched before the latest update." DId you mean thye matched on the display or that you had printed them, including that particular photo, and the colors were correct the last time you printed it?
And please do try the digitaldog's suggestion....!!!
Do the colors look accurate when you are Soft Proofing? If not, then you might need to update the printer profile. If they do, then I suggest verifying that the nozzles are all clean, and as others have suggested, delete and reinstall the print drivers.
Thank you all for your replies, firstly i downloaded the latest version "printer driver" and secondly in the latest version of LR you can load all your cameras in the system preferences so that LR automatically recognises the camera and applies the specific cameras colour profile and not the default Adobe colour profile. I don't know if it was both of these changes or one specifically, but the iMac colours and the printed colours now match again perfectly. Again thank you all for your help and I hope my solutions might help someone else with the same problem.
