Photo Printing Gone Bad in 10.3

[msagal]

Hello,

I'm not sure what happened with 10.3 but printing colour images to my Epson Stylus Photo 820 now produces dark images with an ugly orange cast to them.

Prior to 10.3 the printed images were spectacular. Unbelievably crisp, clear, and vivid with accurate colour representation without touching anything in the print dialog except the type of paper.

I see there are settings for cyan, magenta, and yellow in the dialog now (that wasn't there before) but I am not a colour expert and I'm reluctant to begin experimenting with those.

And also the Utility button is now greyed out. The Epson Print Utility application is still there and is still usable but Printer Utility seems to be clueless about it.

I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

There is an update to the Print Image Matching at:

That might correct the problem especially if you use PhotoShop.

Thanks Cheryl but I don't use Photoshop. When I print images I just print from iPhoto and like I said, it used to work perfectly.

Do you have the latest update to 10.3? When you installed 10.3 - did you also install the printer driver for the Epson?
