* MY Epson Stylus Photo 1200,, on MY Mac, adds cyan ink to the lighter shades of red and orange, in an attempt, I suspect, to reduce the saturation and enhance the perception of lighter values. I HATE pollution and this fits the definition. After much fiddling around, I discovered a fix. In the printing dialogue screen select "Custom" then "Advanced". At the right side of the "Advanced" screen are "Mode" choices. Select "No Color Adjustment". This apparently allows the printer to print the color selected in Photoshop rather than some software developer's idea of what it SHOULD look like.

Some Thoughts about "Photographic Paper Selection"

Each image needs the PERFECT paper / developer combination! When working with a silver negative, the selection of the "perfect" emulsion and developer is often a search for the response curve that best displays the expressive vision of the photographer. Often this has to do with whether the paper is a long-toe or short-toe paper, as much as the color and contrast range. In the opto-chemical darkroom, one must match the paper / developer to the silver negative. In the digital darkroom, it is possible to match the image to a single negative material and characteristic. Thus, rather than choose a paper / developer combination for the image, alter the image to fit the chosen paper / developer combination. In so doing we are able to choose a single paper, Ilford Multigrade or Gallerie, Seagull, Kodak Elite or Ektalure, Agfa, platinum, palladium, etc., and match the digital image to fit. This allows you to select the paper that best expresses the vision without regard to whatever limiting factors it might possess.
