So I have my Epson 9800 printing very well, it's been a while since I set one of these up, I think I have settings correct but would appreciate if anyone using same or similar could show me their print settings please?

I'd guess the 9600 and 11880 are similar, although we haven't used them in a few years, if you post your settings pics, I could say if I had ours set different?

I'll post some settings. Spent some time getting the printer working well, prints looking great. Test prints seemed fine but we now have the blue turning green issue so I think something isn't ticked/unticked/selected! lol.

So I know we should have matte paper selected but not sure which of the 5 options we should have and if this makes any difference?

Colour settings I know we can adjust so currently running on a medium setting which is a good balance of quality/speed.

The images are coming up tiny when I click them, so hard to make out, and look different from what I remember.
For our 9600/11880s we had paper selected as Epson Enhanced Matt, the print quality as high as it would go, but all enhancements and colour adjustments turned off in the print driver.
In Photoshop (where we printed from direct to the driver, no RIP) We would have the Photoshop manages colours, with the ICC selected here (which we made ourselves), and the rendering intent set to Perceptual.
Also always used Adobe RGB 1998 as the document profile in Photoshop - I think yours is showing as sRGB?

Apologies for that, I rushed them before I left y/day.

Other than matte paper setting I think we have set as per your info above but will double check. Many thanks :-)
