Unhappy Epson 2000P prints too light from iMac
My iMac, PC laptop, and PC desktop share an Epson Stylus Photo 2000P printer. I can print fine from the PCs, but I like to print from my iMac where most of my photo files are. When I do, the output is always too light, whether I use Photoshop or print directly from the Web. Somewhere a printer setting is not right, but I have no idea what it is or even how to look for it. Can anyone help?

Try this: On your iMac, go to the monitor settings and change the color setting to sRGB (default will say iMac Monitor, or something like that). In Photoshop on your iMac, change the default color RGB setting to sRGB and not the default setting for the iMac monitor (which is usually lighter than the PC monitor).

Ok, now to business... Sorry for the following silly questions, but just want to make sure that understand what all is going on.

1. Have you downloaded all the most recent drivers and software for this printer?
2. What OS are you using in your iMac?
