Prints not matching the in-app preview

[Elxu]

Hmm those still don't work for me. I've now tried everything I can even think of and read all discussions about the problem online.
The issue only happens with Affinity, photoshop works fine but is pain in the ass when printing a alot.
I use the latest Affinity version, Epson workforce wf-7715 ( inkjet), and matte sticker paper. All looks fine on screen but when printing all pictures get this red filter and I run out of Magenta ink like crazy.

My printer uses profile Epson IJ Printer 07. I've tried converting the file to Epson IJ, and Adobe RGP ( someone mentioned it would work with CMYK better ), the normal sRGB IEC61966-2.1 and U.S. Web Coated swop v 2.  Soft Proofing does nor helps nothing. The OpenColorIO does not go on (?). The 32 bit preview is all gray even though I downloaded and set the sample files from their website.

I've tried different printing setting from printers own setting not to color correct if using color handling by the app. And performed by printer. Different printing profiles. Different rendering intents.

I've exported the file pdf for printing.

I've changed my monitor color profiles.

Nothing works or gives same resoults as photoshop.

How can I turn the OpenColorIO on myself?

And I noticed that this has started happening within a few weeks to months since even my customs labels now have a pink hue to them. ( I combine multiple of them to fit on a4 on affinity( Found an old one and it looked fine from sometime this summer. So I just tried toroll back the latest patch but that didn't work. Maybe it wasn't a clean swipe of the new patch or the issues got stuck on the file.

From the OpenColourIO website:

"A complete color management solution geared towards motion picture production with an emphasis on visual effects and computer animation."

So that's straight away not applicable.

It's really unclear what you have been doing (apart from maybe trying everything in desperation 😀 ).

Are your prints from Photoshop still coming out correctly?
Are you using the exact same document colour profile and printer profile, along with the same print driver settings as Photoshop when printing from Affinity? In your screenshots you are not - you have the paper profile as the document profile which is not the correct approach.

Oh that was my bad, I took the screen shots after the desperation spree. But even when the document profile is sRGP the printing is off. Today I noted that the issue is with printing photos. Most of the stuff I print is drawn digital art based and looks fine. But even with files mixed with real photos and digital art the filter happens. Could there be a better printing profile for photos? I use license free photos from unsplash so mostly jpgs. And yes I print a lot and almost daily, I have a small business. Other than that I had not messed with the settings before this switch has happened.

Hi @Elxu,

Is it possible for you to post screen shots of your document print dialogue screen especially the Colour Management section, also can you check that you are running the latest Epson printer drivers.
