Notes on Colour Management and Photoshop

Customers will notice a change in colour when moving

from Epson® ink to Ly son colour inks and it is likely that

some changes will be needed to restore colour accuracy.

This change in colour is necessary becasue the fade

resistant dyes used in Lysonic and Fotonic inks have a

different colour quality to the quicker fading original inks.

Also, the print driver is designed to work with the colours

produced by the Epson® inks. When the inks are changed

the output from the print driver is less accurate. These

changes can be compensated for. There is also

information at the end of this leaflet for Small Gamut and

Quad Black users.

Media Handling

The Matt, Gloss and Fine Art papers compatible with

Lyson inks are all heavy weight papers. These can cause

problems to the sheet feed mechanisms used by the

Epson® printers as they have been designed to handle

thinner paper. For best results we recommend that the

paper be fed to the printer one sheet at a time.

For desktop printers such as the Photo 1270 or 890, when

using Fine Art paper hold the paper by the sides, not at

the top, and push gently as the machine pulls on the

media.

For the Epson® 3000 and 5000 keep the paper flat by

feeding it through the rear sheet feeder. For the Epson®

3000 this is the slot designed to handle banner paper.

Feed the paper between the sprocket units until the

printer draws the paper in.

With the Fine Art paper it is sometimes difficult to detect

which side of the paper is the coated side. Wet your finger

and thumb and touch the paper. The coated side is the

side that is sticky. Always print on this side.

Photoshop 3/4

Follow these steps to re-calibrate your workflow

1. Change the print driver settings to match those

indicated below.

2. Open an image in Photoshop that contains a wide

range of colours and print it using these settings.

3. Make further adjustments to the print driver settings

and reprint the image to correct the colours as best

you can.

4. Adjust the monitor display to match the print out.

5. Colour correct the image in photoshop to restore the

colour balance to your image on your monitor.

5. Reprint the image.

The output should now match the colours on your

monitor.

( The monitor only needs to be adjusted once when

changing ink sets. From then on simply open your

image, correct for colour and print.)

The settings shown below ( fig 1 & fig 2 ) are designed to

bring the printed output roughly in line with the colours on

your monitor. Obviously the output will vary from printer to

printer, ie, the printed colours will be different on an

Epson® Photo EX when compared to that of an Epson®

Stylus Pro 3000. Fine tuning can be done by further

adjusting the cyan, magenta and yellow sliders along with

the brightness, contrast and saturation sliders.

These settings however are the best place to start.

Photoshop 5 / 6 / 7x

Users that have upgraded from Photoshop 3 / 4 will notice

a difference in the way Photoshop 5/6 treats colour. There

are many more colour options in Photoshop 5/6/7 that can

be altered. ICC profiles are used to handle all areas of

colour reproduction from your monitor display to your

printer output. A complete guide to these options, ICC

profiles and how to use them in your workflow can be

found in the "Epson Colour Management" pdf file that can

be downloaded from the technical support section of the

Lyson website (www.lyson.com).

Photoshop 5x:

Go to FILE-COLOUR SETTINGS-RGB SETUP.

We recommend that "ColorMatch RGB" or "Adobe 1998"

be used as an RGB colour space. (Photoshop 5

defaults to sRGB, a gamut that can introduce unwanted

colour casts to your display). Ensure that the "Display

using monitor compensation" box and the "Preview" box

are both ticked.

Go to FILE-COLOUR SETTINGS-PROFILE SETUP.

In the "Profile Setup" dialogue box, set all options to "Ask

When Opening". This ensures that Photoshop does not

change any colour data when opening an image file.

(Photoshop will show the message "Converting Colours"

if this is happening).

Photoshop 6 / 7x:

Go to EDIT-COLOUR SETTINGS.Tick the "Advanced

Mode" button.

Select "ColorMatch" or "Adobe 1998" as the RGB working

space. Under "Color Management Policies" select

"Preserve Embedded Profiles" and tick all the "Profile

Mismatches" and "Missing Profiles" options. Under

"Conversion

Options"

select

"Adobe

(ACE)"

"Heidelberg" as the Engine and "Perceptual" as the intent.

Tick the "Dither" option but not the "Black Point

Compensation" option. Do not activate any of the

"Advanced controls"

ICC PROFILE INSTALLATION.

ICC profiles for use with Lyson inks and papers are now

available. When used with compatible software they

ensure perfect predictable colour for each printer/media/

ink combination. To obtain these profiles on CD or floppy

disk contact your local distributor. Alternatively visit their

website to download the relevant profile. The profiles are

also available in the technical support section of the Lyson

website (www.lyson.com). Each of the profiles when

downloaded is accompanied by a pdf acrobat® formated

instruction document. Be sure to read this before

attempting any printing. If downloading from the windows

section of the Lyson website you will need "winzip" to

decode the file. (www.winzip.com). If downloading from

the Macintosh section of the Lyson website you will need

the "StuffIt" expander software (www.alladinsys.com),

usually pre-installed with Internet Explorer® 5.

Further information on Colour Management can be found

in the "Epson Colour Management" pdf file. Custom

Profiles for specific combinations of printers and papers

can also be purchased from third party vendors.

This is recommended for the most accurate colour

reproduction.

QUAD BLACK SETUP INFORMATION

The Quad Black inks set use different dilutions of black

ink to achieve a wide tonal range and "lock in" the colour.

This ink is available in "Neutral" tone and for selected

printers there are "Warm" and "Cool| tones also available.

Before using Quad Black follow the cleaning procedure

detailed overleaf, then replace the cleaning cartridges

with the Quad Black cartridge set.

For best results prepare your black and white image in

RGB mode in Photoshop. If you have a full colour image

simply convert to greyscale then back to RGB.(IMAGE-

MODE-GREYSCALE/RGB). Then send the image to be

printed using the "No Colour Adjustment" option in your

Epson print driver. Changing the media selection will

affect the density and contrast of your print. Experiment to

find the one that works best for you.

Quad Black Inks have a very wide tonal range that

responds extremely well to the data contained in your

image file. Absolute blacks will only be printed if your file

contains this information. Use the Histogram option in

Photoshop and the Levels tool to ensure the widest tonal

range possible.

SMALL GAMUT SETUP INFORMATION

SG inks enable the user to "tone" their black and white

images. Full details on the use of these inks can be found

in the Small Gamut User Guides that are available at the

Lyson Website (www.Lyson.com). ICC profiles are also

available for a limited range of printers for users of

Photoshop 5 / 6 / 7x.

For earlier Epson four colour printers such as the Stylus

Color 860/1160 models, excellent results can be obtained

by selecting the "No Colour Adjustment" option in the

Epson printer driver. Experiment with the Media settings

for different densities of print. All six colour "Photo"

printers such as the Stylus Photo 890 require the use of

the matching printer profile for the Printer/Paper

combination you are using. Go to the Lyson website for

the profile you require
