Does any of you have any experience with the #Epson EB-675W, a short-throw projector? I see that it's sold as a classroom device, but how about #movie watching? I use a laptop and most things I watch come from online sources (720/1080 Blu-ray max). I'm not interested in 3D 4K extravaganzas.

My room is small and I'd sit max. 2 meters from the screen.

Suggestions/boosts appreciated

It’s funny, but of course life and art goes circles this way. I had rather fallen in love with papers other than the Baryta, papers with texture that made the bokeh slide into dreamy watercolor-ish paper looks. So I was favoring that strongly for a while and neglecting the look of the harder paper surfaces

But of course for some images not better, and in the proofing I’ve been doing lately the Canson Baryta paper is *much* better, color, contrast, and deep tones

Got my Epson P7000 behemoth printer working again. After hours and hours, lots of $$$$ of ink and fancy paper, I was deciding it was going to be an expensive repair and I wouldn’t be able to use the “photo black” ink to print on the Baryta paper for this upcoming show.

Just as I was really giving up, last night, the banding stopped and prints are perfect. Whew.

I posted on DPReview. On my huge #Epson P7000 printer I'm getting banding with Photo black ink enabled. Wierdly I was getting gaps in the nozzle check on the Light Black ink while PK was selected, but not with Matte Ink. Matte Ink is printing perfectly. Switched between them a few times, cleaned heads PK/LK many times.

Cleaned the channel bays behind where the head parks as well as the pad above the wiper assembly and the wiper. Still bands. Nozzle check fine.

Noooooo! It still doesn't work on the production machine. Same workflow works on the bare bones newly set up machine. OK, I guess that's why there is some discussion of it but not a whole lot. Somehow Lightroom is not seeing the ICC profiles on the production machine, same version sees them on the other machine, same OS version.

Continued thread

OK, for anyone following along, the answer was to update the OS.

With Apple these days I try to avoid any new major OS version because of new bugs, but in this case it seems to have fixed an old bug.

At least this works from a different machine I updated to Sequoia, perfect color management. The long Sonoma nightmare is about to be over, and I'll be printing without cursing again.

I know whatI’m doing, or trying to do, by the way. I’ve used this printer a whole lot and have a well established workflow from #Lightroom. Just recently (Sonoma) things have gone south.

There are a few threads on Adobe forums of others with this problem, so it’s not just me. Just that answers workarounds are rare.

Try Qimage? Get a cheap Windows machine to print?

#Mac#Sonoma#Apple

Probably nobody here can help, but I’ll try.

Printing photos to a large pro Epson printer, Surecolor P7000. #Mac, #Sonoma. Photoshop, Lightroom, latest. Epson printer driver: latest (13.x)

Trying to color manage using ICC profiles, color is all off. It may be #Apple #Epson and not Adobe here. The color profile seems not to be used. “Printer Manages Color” gives ballpark results, Using ICC profile is way off

Update to #Sonoma? Drop a machine back to Monterey?

Made a beautiful print today, but not until I wasted a piece of expensive paper and some ink first. This is on my chest-freezer size #Epson p7000 behemoth pro photo printer.

I think it is some bad interplay between #Apple and Epson. I have to delete/reinstall the printer driver every couple of weeks it seems. It seems even minor system updates from Apple throw things off with the Epson driver. Colors all bad, reinstalled the driver and it’s beautiful.

@dan613 @ottaross Sounds like it may be too late but did you look at #VueScan to support that old scanner? I bought their package years ago (#LifetimeLicense though it's not offered any more) for a 2nd hand #Epson. They don't provide drivers for the Epson but have very good help pages on where you can find them.
