"Ink Limit"
Posted: Tue Sep 20, 2011 7:33 am
Hello. I have a little problem with my printer. I have an Epson P50 and I print on matte paper. I print with original Epson drivers. The problem is that none of Epson paper profiles fit my paper. Ink density is either too low or too high. The only one that fits is "plain paper" but the highest quality Epson allows on this type of paper setting is "Fine" and this is not enough for me (I need photo quality).
So I stumbled upon PrintFab that offers me exactly what I need - control over ink limit. But it does not work with icc profiles that were intended for default Epson drivers. All colors are way off - I understand that this is expected behavior of my printer.
My questions are:
1) Is it possible in any way to bypass the maximum allowed printing quality in Epson drivers to allow higher quality printing on plain paper settings? (Like a little driver tweak or something, I believe this is only software limitation and not hardware).
2) Is it possible to use PrintFab just to adjust "Ink limit" setting and turn off all color controls? Something like "No color management" in Epson drivers to be able to use my current icc profile.
I ask this because I have an icc profile for my paper and ink (made for default Epson drivers) and all I need is to be able to print on Epson's "plain paper" ink density with higher quality. Is there any way this can be done with PrintFab's help without making an additional icc profile?
