Epson SC-P600 - profiling thick glossy paper

Post by jcb »

I want to create a testchart in order to obtain a custom .pfprofile for a thick glossy paper.
However, when I hit 'Print ink limit test row' in de PrintFab-Toolbox, the printer refuses to load the paper and responds with
"
Replace paper with
* automatic paper load
* A4
* Prem. Semigloss

"

Paper: Glossy, thickness = 0,45 mm
Printer and media-settings : Epson SC-P600, front feed, A4, printer medium = Prem. Glossy

Computer: MacOS 11.7.1
Preferences :
- default printer = SC-P600 Series_(PrintFab)
- default paper = A4

PrintFab Toolbox > New profile
- Cartridge : Photo Black
- Type of paper : Glossy paper
- Print Quality : Photo (5760 dpi)

This problem does not occur when I print with exactly the same printer settings using the Epson printerdriver instead of Printfab.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug in PrintFab ?

Hello,

unfortunately the paper feed selection is fixed to the upper tray when printing the ink limit test row and the profile color chart.

There are two workarounds:

- try to load the same paper from the upper tray
- if that doesn't work, I can send you a modified driver file that will feed the paper from the front

Hello ,

Thanks for the quick reply.
In that case, I prefer the second workaround, i.e. the modified driver

I have just sent the modified driver file by email.
