Hi, i think i would try to change my printer to a canon, if i could give it back after one month, because it makes problems with accepting my paper that i use since 3 years...unbelievable what epson says to this problem...haha.

When i got another one, whatever i retry and i write here, what than happens when i print with it!

Thanks to you, i have learned many about the settings from you...

Good luck with the return.

I have 5 printers, 4 of them are Epson. I wouldn't buy any other now.

This is in your on-line manual . . .

  1. Open the printer driver setup window
  2. Select the manual color adjustment

    On the Main tab, select Manual for Color/Intensity, and click Set....

    The Manual Color Adjustment dialog box opens.
  3. Select color correction

    Click Matching tab, select Color Correction setting that matches your purpose from the following, and click OK.


    Driver Matching With Canon Digital Photo Color, you can print sRGB data with color tints that most people prefer.

    ICM (ICC Profile Matching) Adjusts the colors by using an ICC profile when printing.
    Specify the input profile or rendering intent to be used.

    None The printer driver does not perform color correction. Select this value when you are specifying an individually created printing ICC profile or a printing ICC profile for special Canon paper in an application software to print data.

If your monitor is a decent one then maybe you only need to make some adjustments. Have a look at this article for some on-line help.

You don't neccesarily need to buy a new montitor - if you purchase a tool to calibrate your monitor then it should display perfectly on your screen and then should match what you print.

Do you have any other monitors or possibly one you could borrow from a friend to check if it is the colours on the monitor?

Hi again. I think i solved the color problem, but now i have another problem.
If you print a cover from here with 3173x1762 pixels, does it fit in the bluray case? Since my new printer it is too big!
I know i can change the size at the printer settings in PS, either in percent or the size directly.

How do you do do get a perfect size cover print?

I have the same problem since I'm using PS CC. I've changed the size into 98,5% (but german cover-size 3172x1760px).

I even can't find this option... :whistle:

But for me it's no problem. When I print out my covers with 98,5% of it's original size everything is fine.
I just posted because spacebug has the same problem. What ever the problem might be. :D
