I use a jpg image with lots of colors and familiar object in it, to check my printing colors from various photo applications. I use an Epson R800 with its latest Epson driver, and when I print from Adobe CS2 or Lightroom using 'application-managed' colors, ie turning color management OFF in the printer driver, I get fine acceptable color. I expected the same in my trial of Aperture.
So using the same image file, I go to print image in Aperture, set the Print Settings to turn color management off, and select the paper profile for Epson Premium Glossy Bst Photo in the Colorsync Profile menu, and then the preview image for the dialog shows a purple-ish badly colored preview! Only when I set the Colorsync Profile to System Managed, do I see a preview that resembles the image file in the view mode in Aperture and in the other applications.
Finally, when i print that image, I get a print that resembles what I am looking for, but is inferior compared to the Lightroom and CS2 prints. it is muddy and dark compared to them.
Can someone straighten me out on the settings that I should use to avoid color management by the printer driver, and have Aperture send a color corrected image to the printer, as I do in Lightroom ad CS2? And finally, why is the print of lower quality than the print I am getting from these other applications? I have tried increasing the Gamma but that doesn't do it.
