I want to share this because I posted earlier this week and was SUPER disappointed in the print quality of my new Epson ET-2720.

I finally called Epson customer service and discovered that I was using the wrong driver. There is an "air print" driver and a "regular" driver. I installed the "air print" driver because I thought it was what I would need using it on my home network. However, it not only provided crappy print quality, but it also gave me less choices to control the color of my printing, the density, and the final detail, etc. Installing the correct driver was like opening a door into Narnia!

That said, I have still had to make considerable color adjustment to get things to look the way they did on my old HP Photosmart, which actually made lovely color art prints. (I print high-end cards and stickers, from detailed pen-and-ink and watercolor-type images – although mostly created digitally and not scanned.)

It's also important to note that I print on matte-finish cardstock, so I'm not talking about photo printing.

The changes I've made are as follows, in case it helps someone else. I print final images using print setting "quality". Under color options, I've set up a preset with the following:

Brightness = 10

Contrast = 12

Saturation = -6

Cyan = 3

Magenta = -10

Yellow = 5

This seems to get me the best, truest color and prevents the shift towards orange that previous posters have commented on as an issue with the Epson 2720.

It's a darn good thing this is an Ecotanks printer, because I've had to make many prints to test these adjustments, and I would have run through a set of HP cartridges by now!
