Hi John
Didnt have a lot of hair before i got even less now.
I have the right driver its still taking an age to print though if i dont bother going through changing priofiles etc its like lightening.
the prints im getting are awful in truth very washed out ive reinstalled the printer and profiles a few times now still no good i even went to a site http://www.conde.com/ricoh.php which is pretty helpful they had set ups on youtube but it only went as far as setting up the printer not what to set in the printer settings eg ink jet paper plain etc i did get another profile off them whgich is marginally better but im on my 12th mug now (luckily they are scrap mugs anyway ) i need help i think any one out there wanna give me ring and talk me through it see what im doing wrong let me know and ill give u my number or ill ring you either or

Hi John thanks for your telephone support earlier lol its cleared quite a bit up im not quite getting the results i want as yet but im getting there. 64 bit is definatly not a good thing with these printers now im using it on a 32 bit its quite a bit better though im still not happy whith it just yet .
Keep an eye out the window through the snow you may just see a ricoh printer attached to a laptop flying by.
Brett

Ok so now im using the printer on a 32 bit laptop because apparantly the printer doesnt like 64 bit.
the colours still arnt what id like in the picture i have posted you will see that the gents hat is green but in reality its brown so a little fine tuning yet but im getting there any tips on how to tone the green down ?

Hi Brett, Damn - I was watching out the window for the flying laptop/ricoh but you seem to have cracked it. Looks really good.

Not sure how to fix the green issue, mayby not tick that ICM box that I said tick

Cheers John

That is unticked when it was ticked it looked awful. Sods law though i bought a new laptop to use with the printer but its the old decrepid one that works .....theres no justice

is have to e thicked as you need to switch printer color menagment off. r u using PS to print? if so what option ui useing when printing? absolute colorometric?

Hi Paul, I don't understand - are you saying the box has to be ticked.

Cheers John

Now thats just confused me a whole lot more . absoulute colour metric? where is that tick box? also paul this is the ricoh 5050 have you seen the print screen for that ? it bears no resemblance to the epson screens. he tick box john an i are talking about is the icm colour management. this is unticked in epsons so i assumed it would be with the ricoh infact with it ticked as i told john it looks awful. If you want to lose hair gain 20 years in age and learn new swear words buy a ricoh lol

sorry gus. did never seen ricoh printer box. but as far as i know is all about same.
ICM is some kind of color correction in printer drivers. so need to bi ticked. sorry for confusing you.
this is some random screen from epson printers.

it show you icm ticked. so ther is no color correction. wee need to leace it for profili to do it. also I dont knoe if you have this same in your driver box but there is another box need to be ticked. @off - no color adjustment@
colorometric, absolute colorometric,perceptual and other option r avaliable in after hit "print" in photoshop. I dont remember what other option u have there coz iam not on my pc right now so please help me out


but as far as i can remember you need to set it for perceptual so your colors r not to bright and not to dool... I will confirm that when I come back home.
