    Blacks shifting to greenish under daylight?

    Thanks for your answer. Is changing the color temperature useful to get neutral grays on color pictures too or is it for B&W and we should use custom profiling to get neutral grays when printing color pictures (to optimize for viewing under daylight)?

    Blacks shifting to greenish under daylight?

    Thanks for your questions glasseye, under the thread I posted. If you can find a solution please comeback and write here please :) I am thinking about custom profiling(by a professional) but it would be a bit pricey I think, buying something like Colormunki for calibrating/custom profiling is of...

    Blacks shifting to greenish under daylight?

    I have been experimenting with some color adjustments using the printer driver in the last days. Increasing magenta really helps reducing greenish tint on grays, it really improves the photos I tried.Maybe I may find a good combination, without distorting other colors too much. My concern is if...

    Exclamation mark next to Epson Utility under devices and printers

    Thanks for your answer. I didn't try cause of my fear that if installation fails, sometimes it is difficult to correct it(I had some painful experiences with installing drivers of some of my previous Hp printers, they had unexpectedly failed and sometimes it was difficult to solve the...

    Blacks shifting to greenish under daylight?

    Thanks for your answers. I printed the image recommended by PeterBJ. I thought the most neutral small pic was R 30.Then I tried adjusting the cyan slider to -25, thinking that it would mean red +25(maximum is 25). Then I printed the bw test image which was suggested by Ink stained Fingers in...

    Blacks shifting to greenish under daylight?

    Thanks for your answer.Yes, profiling software would be an overkill for my purposes.I think I will try doing adjustments using driver software or photo editor. Just to be sure,is there a possibility that these problems caused by clogged nozzles? I had emailed with a person from Epson and he was...

    Blacks shifting to greenish under daylight?

    Thanks for your answer. I understand what you mean. But after printing again the BW files which you put, I mean the file which shows colors from black to gray and the other file from gray to white, using both Glossy and Matte paper settings, onto the same glossy paper, I believe I understood...

    Thanks for your answer. I did a few more tests without changing settings like brightness.I printed a picture of "black and white" clouds, they have some gray tones.It was a 8bit gray picture.I first printed using Epson Matte setting, the result was, under artificial lighting I noticed the...

    Blacks shifting to greenish under daylight?

    Thanks for your answer. I tried raising the brightness from 0(in the middle) to 11 under driver settings and printed the same test sheet, now I can see that there are more grays than the previous print, under artificial light. I am sure I will see even more grays/seperated blacks when I look...

    Blacks shifting to greenish under daylight?

    Thanks for your answer. I printed the images. Inside the glossy print, it is number 3 from the first row.Inside the matte print, I am not sure exactly but I think it is number 8 from the second row. Using "matte" setting definitely prints better though it loses some fine details, I mean...

    Blacks shifting to greenish under daylight?

    I actually want to try what you said lastly Ink stained Fingers, but I wonder if it will be the last test or not because I have just a few glossy photo papers left and I don't want to use more than 1 paper( we have some financial problems currently so buying new glossy photo papers and/or inks...

    Blacks shifting to greenish under daylight?

    Thanks for your answer. I didn't want to use another photo paper and ink, cause I have already used too much to test the printer(more than 30 photo papers).Also I was a bit afraid that the inks' levels may get too low before we take the printer to the technical service. Regarding my...

    Blacks shifting to greenish under daylight?

    Thanks for your answer. I printed the first photo in the zip file(black and gray tones,BW10.bmp).I notice the same greenish color tint I notice with the photos, on most of the colors/tones in that picture(BW10.bmp).
