The EPSON Perfection®3200 scanner and

your EPSON®photo printer form an ideal

system for reproducing photography and fine art.

With these outstanding tools, you expect the

highest quality color output. That’s why we’ve

created this booklet. It gives you all the tips and

techniques you need to optimize color on your

EPSON system.

Monitors, scanners, and printers each use different

technologies to reproduce color. Different color

technologies mean that the devices have different

color ranges or gamuts. Each one can produce

certain colors that the others can’t.

The good news is that a color-managed workflow

can help you match colors as closely as possible.

By following the instructions in this booklet, you

can achieve effective color reproduction using

your EPSON Perfection 3200 scanner and

EPSON photo printer.

The Art and Science of Color

Each device in your computer system has a

different color “language.” Color management

translates these languages into a universal form

of communication, or device-independent color

model. By using a common language, a color-

managed workflow lets you convert an image

from one color model to another.

Profiles describe the color gamut of various

devices and the color space of individual images.

With the information in profiles, color management

tools determine the best method for “mapping”

out-of-gamut colors. The result is that you get

consistent, predictable color reproduction.

This booklet provides you with the step-by step

instructions you need to create accurate profiles

for your scanner, monitor, and printer.

All the components you need to build a color-

managed workflow are included in the EPSON

Perfection 3200 Pro software bundle:

MonacoEZcolor offers an easy, effective

means of building profiles for your scanner,

printer, and monitor.

LaserSoft®SilverFast®provides powerful tools

to deliver great scans that need little or no

correction after scanning.

Adobe®Photoshop®Elements 2.0 lets you

manipulate your images until they’re just

right, then hand off the color correctly to

your EPSON printer.

In this booklet, we’ll walk you through the

process of building the profiles you need,

configuring SilverFast to pass the color along

to Adobe Photoshop Elements, and applying

the profiles to ensure that your prints contain

the color you expect.

Profiling Your Scanner

and Printer

The starting point in building the workflow is

to create profiles for your scanner and printer.

MonacoEZcolor lets you build a scanner and

printer profile in a single session. The first step

is to print the printer profiling target from

MonacoEZcolor.

Note: You need to create a separate profile

for each combination of ink, paper, and

printer settings. When you use the profile to

make a print, you need to ensure that you’re

printing on the same paper, with the same

inks, using the same printer settings you

used to print the target.

Printing the Printer Profiling Target

1Launch MonacoEZcolor. The welcome

screen appears:

2Click Create Printer Profile.

MonacoEZcolor provides you with some

general guidelines to observe during the

profile creation process. If you aren’t sure

how to follow these guidelines, don’t

worry—just follow the steps provided here.

3Click the right arrow at the lower-right of

the MonacoEZcolor screen to proceed.

The following screen appears:

4For any EPSON printer, click RGB Printer.

From the Printer Model/Technology pop-up

menu, choose Other for any EPSON printer,

or choose EPSON Stylus Photo 2000P if

this is the printer you’re using.

5Click the right arrow to proceed. The Print

Target screen appears:

6Make sure your EPSON printer is selected

as the current printer, and the paper you

want to profile is loaded. Then click Print.

Tip: If you plan on profiling multiple papers,

or the same paper at multiple resolutions,

click Save TIFF to save the target as a file

named “RGB Print Patches.tif”.Printing the

target is always the first step in building a

printer profile. If you have the target saved as

a TIFF, you can print it without having to go

through the introductory screens in

MonacoEZcolor.

Click here to proceed

MonacoEZcolor advises you to record the

settings you’ll make in the printer driver, so

you can apply them when you use the

profile. When you click OK, the print

window appears:

7Choose Print Settings from the options

pop-up menu. The print settings appear:

8Choose the paper type you want to profile

from the Media Type list—for example,

Enhanced Matte Paper. Then click

Advanced Settings and choose your desired

print settings. Most of the time, the default

settings work well.

9Once you’ve made your selections, choose

Color Management from the Options

menu. The color management settings

appear:

10 Click No Color Adjustment to ensure that

the driver doesn’t alter the colors in the

profiling target. Then click Print.

Once you’ve printed the target, you’re ready

to proceed to the next part of the process:

using SilverFast to scan both the scanner and

printer targets.

Tip: For an accurate printer profile, make sure

you let the printer target dry for at least an

hour to reach its final, stable color. Some

paper-and-ink combinations take longer to

dry than others. If you wait until the next day,

you can be sure the target has reached its

final color.

Preparing the Printer

and Scanner Targets

The next step is to scan the printer and scanner

targets in a single image. MonacoEZcolor will use

this scan to build the profiles.

1In MonacoEZcolor, click the right arrow.

The following screen appears:

2Follow the on-screen instructions to attach

the reflective IT8 target included in the

MonacoEZcolor package to the target

you printed.

Note: If you use tape to attach the target,

make sure the tape doesn’t cover any of the

color patches on the IT8.

3Click the right arrow to proceed.

Follow the on-screen instructions to place

the printer and scanner targets on the scanner.

4Click the right arrow to proceed. The

following screen appears:

Caution: On some operating systems,

MonacoEZcolor lets you scan directly into the

application using the EPSON scanner plug-in.

Do not use this feature. To create a profile

that LaserSoft SilverFast can use correctly,

you must scan the scanner and printer

targets using SilverFast, as described in the

following section.

Scanning the Targets with SilverFast

To build profiles, you must use special settings in

SilverFast that are quite different from the ones

used in normal scanning. You must scan the

profiling target with all color management and

color correction features turned off, following the

instructions in this section.

1Launch the standalone SilverFast

application. You’ll be prompted to import

the SilverFast (Epson) plug-in, as shown.

You can find the plug-in inside the

SilverFast application folder.

Note: Your scanner must be connected to

your computer and turned on before you can

successfully import the scanner plug-in.

Next, you’ll be prompted to enter your

name, company, and serial number

information. You’ll find the SilverFast serial

number on the back of the SilverFast

package. Once you enter this information

and click OK, SilverFast opens.

Before you scan the target, you need to

make sure that SilverFast is configured

correctly for the profile scan.

2On the main SilverFast screen, click the

General tab, and make sure the Scan Mode

is set to Normal (File), Original is set to

Reflective, and Pos./Neg. is set to Positive,

as shown:

3Once you’ve confirmed the settings, click

the Options button. The SilverFast Defaults

screen appears:

4For Gamma-Gradation, enter 1.80. Check

for HDR output, then click the CMS tab.

The CMS Defaults screen appears:

5Turn off all the color management options

for the target scan. You need to do this

whenever you scan a profiling target.

In the Color Management section, set

Scanner->Internal and Internal->Monitor

to <NONE>, and set Internal->Output

to RGB.

In the Profiles for ColorSync section, set

all profiles to <NONE>. You can leave

the other settings at their defaults.

6When you’ve completed all the settings,

click OK.

7On the main SilverFast screen, click the

Frame tab. Set the Scan Type to 48-bit

HDR Color, and set the resolution slider to

150 dpi, as shown:

8Once you’ve made your settings, click

Prescan. The prescan image appears in

SilverFast’s scanner window:
