Reply To: Color shift when printing to Epson 3880

Thanks for your reply Alan,

yes, I've set to ProPhoto before place the image…

I tried to do some other google researches about double-profiling, I think that in a post of another user I've identified the same problem:

Turns out that when printing from InDesign there are two places in the printer driver one must turn off operating system applied color profiles when wanting to use custom profile applied in the application.
The first (at least for my current Epson print drivers) is in the Printer Settings under color mode where you turn off color management.
But, then under Color Matching there is are radio buttons specifying ColorSync and Epson Color Controls. I seem to remember this being greyed out lots (as in Photoshop). But, when printing from InDesign, it is active. If you leave it on the default ColorSync, you get another profile applied. It has to be set on Epson Color Controls.

So I tried to set “Epson Color Controls” instead of ColorSync, and the color are now very similar to that printed from PS and LR3.

Not that this made me too much happy, I wish to be sure that custom paper profiles will be used; I don't get the difference between “ColoSync” and “Epson Color Controls” in Colo Matching dialog…
