printing colors different on epson printer

[FerdinandvNtP]

Hi 

When I print the same document (with pictures embedded and colorprofile ProPhoto) again the colors are different...

I use a special made colorprofile in the printersettings (see attachments), for the rest I use the same.

MacOs 13.4.1, Publisher 2.1.1

 

i hope someone can help me

The two print options screenshots appear unclear to me: The first shows "Color Settings: Off (No Color Adjustment)" while the second shows ColorSync + your custom profile.

Also I wonder what is meant / expected to get modified when you print with a colour adjusting profile. – Can you choose this custom profile for a Softproof adjustment within Affinity (but without using softproof for printing) to compare the results?

Does the print dialog preview show the colours as in the .afpub layout window, and as you expect them to be printed?

Hi
the setting 'color settings off' means the color adjustment to be done in the printer, and I want the color profile.

The softproof gives the same color as the good print (top)

The thing is that I get different colors when printing the same file with the same adjustments.

 

Thanks!

So, do I understand right that you got correct / expected colours printed before? I am confused by not knowing what "again" refers to in your first post:

'Print (…) again' … or … 'again different colours' ?

Hi

The thing is that I print the document and a few minutes later I do it again with the same settings the colors on the print are different......

Hm, hard to judge if I did not experience this. My guess would be the option settings haven't been absolutely identical.

Maybe it helps, to export (e.g. as PDF) and print from a different app (with a possibly little different print dialog window).
