to print a few things to cart down to GFM to maybe raise a few quid.
Only I can't figure it out. I've watched many tutorials, downloaded
icc
profiles and drivers set and reset things, and still, every one of the
prints so far have come out misplaced on the paper and one end just
sort
of bleeds off instead of having the clean end.
I'm on LR 1.4.1 (can't afford the upgrade yet) using an Epson R2880.
the color, on the other hand, looks yummy.
any ideas?
Sorry to hear you lost your job. Sucky times. :-(
I've been a bit out of the PDML loop since I put this mailing list on
digest mode.
Printing should be done using a regular workflow. I print with Epson
printers on Mac OS X v10.5.7 ... using the Epson R2400 v6.12 driver.
The printer driver interfaces are similar between Epson models, but UI
is not identical between the OS implementations of LR. Setting up
sizing and such is always a fussy bit of business.
1- select the image you want to print and switch to the Print module
2- pick the "maximize size" template
3- click the Page Setup button. Here you pick the printer, the paper
size, and the orientation. Click OK.
4- click the Print Settings button. Here you select the printer
specifics for your intended paper feed, paper type, printer
resolution, etc. For LR color managed printing, turn off color
management in the print driver.
-- Note that with Epson printers, any of the "borderless" print
driver options will stretch the image and cause various oddities in
sizing and placement.
-- (These two steps, 3-4, might be combined into one "Attributes"
setting interface on Windows.)
5- Now start working your way down the list of right-hand LR panels to
set up the print sizing. Turn on the Guides to see where the margins
and gutters are.
6- When you get to Print Job with 1.4.1, I normally left Print
Resolution set to 240 or 300 ppi. (With LR2, I usually leave it
unchecked as LR2 has print sharpening built in.) The pick the paper
profile you want to use and the rendering intent.
7- Now, on the left hand panel, click the Template Browser's "+" sign.
Name the template.
8- Click Print One to make a test print. If all is good, you're done.
At this point, printing should be a piece of cake. Select your images,
click into the Print module, select the template you made. All the
settings will be applied to each photo as it prints.
