I have been trying to get colorspace within tolerance on our Epson with no luck. This proofer is less than a year old and I cannot get the Max under a 5. It looks to be very dark greens that are causing the issue. Everything else is passing with flying colors. We never experienced this with our Epson Stylus Pro 9900. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Hello Jesse Pena,

Have you tried optimization option after making paper profile?

In the optimization select maximum number of patches.

If Optimization is not working try making a new epl & icc profile.

I am sharing the screenshot of epl setting for your reference.

Instrument could be different as per the availability.

Try making a new epl & icc profile. After that start optimizing the profile with your reference profile (GRACoL 2006CoatedV2.ICC).

It should work fine. Take care of below points also.

•      Always use latest version of Proofing software.

•      Use Automatic scanning instrument if possible.

•      Clean measurement instrument glass & calibration tile with dry tissue paper.

•      Check Nozzle of the Printer before calibration. If nozzles are clogged don't do calibration. First clean the nozzles.

•      Make sure you are connecting measurement device with High Power USB cable & Port. Drivers should be installed properly for measurement device.

•      While calibrating make sure you are scanning correct line or patch.

•      Analyse measured data before making ICC profile.

•      Your paper profile ICC gamut should be bigger than the reference profile.

•      Optimize the profile if required.

•     

     If you need further assistance, I would like to join you during the calibration of Epson Printer with Team viewer.

I found there's a bug in Fiery XF, which only really rears its ugly head when trying to do Colorspace conformance - and it's always with the darkest colors. Fiery's FAST RIP functionality is the culprit here, I have no doubt. Turn that off in the Server Manager > System Info & Configuration > General Settings. You should probably recreate the optimization from scratch after turning FAST RIP off. Then it should pass with flying colors.

From my experience with Fiery for the last year, it is a very buggy RIP. It comes to no surprise to me that the Fiery would be the culprit in this situation. I am going to try making a new profile with FAST RIP turned off and I will report back. I was also given some other tips to try if this doesn't work regarding the Epson Media settings on the printer.
