It was too good to be true - I have come to the downside on my 1st attempt at printing. Ignoring for now the ghastly imperial lack of exact control 'page layout', the colour is worse than anything I have experienced for years. Printing was the jewel in the crown of DPP, straight off the .CR2 masterfile, sized and placed to a fraction of a mm and poke.

camera & all software set to Adobe or Nikon RGB, Epson 1290 set to gloss film (as on instructions for Ilford Gallerie paper), epson management set to 'no colour adjustment'; tried realtive and absolute colorimeteric and perceptual with virtually no difference. All overgreen and muddy, just like the garden.

So do I have to save a max quality .jpg to cart off to DPP, or does anyone have any other suggestions?
