Postershop 3.6 to 4.0 & 4.5 Color Matching

greenspun.com : LUSENET : L-F Printers : One Thread

With all things being equal (same file, same printer, same ink and media) except the version of Postershop, why is the output from Postershop 3.6 dramatical different than that from Postershop 4.0 or 4.5? Is there a way to get the same output from Postershop 4.5 as I get from Postershop 3.6?

I noticed this when I upgraded. My problem stemmed from the driver for my encad printers had changed. to get the same color, you should be able to redesignate you old driver and still run your printer but you may lose some of your speed improvements. ie. HP Widemask or Encad pass options. Are your new prints more saturated???

We too have noticed the color change. I think it has something to do with the new profiles. If you notice in 3.5 they don't give much of an option. In the newer version there are many, such as BigCMYK, SCMYK, Photoshop.. ect.. It is hard to determine which one is best for which device. If you have solved it, please let us know as well.. THANKS
