[QUOTE="Noels, post: 726053, member: 49942"] kmaultsby, Some printers require that you add a color profile to the image to match the monitor and the image's actual color. Some seem to do well without a color profile to do the color matching. There are some color matching programs to develop profiles, but most that I've heard about are expensive... I found that my Epson 720 (now retired) couldn't print without a color profile to get the colors "right." However, my Canons (iP3000 and iP4300) seem to always print the colors without any color correction. And, to me, developing a color profile was time consuming and sometimes quite difficult, so I looked for other ways... turns out, buying a Canon printer solved my problem. I don't know about Elements, but I think Adobe Photoshop has the capability for you to develop a profile that would work with your images when you print with your Epson. You may need to use color correction for the Epson to get what you want... Otherwise, I'd suggest you use the HP exclusively or buy (or at least try) a Canon... Good luck, Noel [/QUOTE]
