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?
Chris,

I have limited experience of printing and cannot really help but I believe you need the correct colour profile for your printer.

I use NX only for primary editting and always save as TIFF before resizing and sharpening in Photoshop. Colour profile is converted just before I save to JPEG.
