My Epson 4000 print engine finally died after over a decade of faithful service. I used primarily Entrada Rag Bright and was really pleased with how the prints of my illustrations came out. I just purchased the Epson R3000 thinking that the technology would be pretty similar, if not better. So far I am stumped. I am using the new Moab Entrada Icc profile for Entrada, but cannot seem to get the same quality. It's either too dark, or too light.
My working profile is adobe 1998, and I am using Watercolor paper- Bright white for my paper settings, but I cannot seem to get the same quality as I got from my Epson 4000 engine when I had the option of choosing Archival Matte as a paper setting.
Do you have any advice? I am now trying Cold Press Bright as my paper setting and playing around with rendering intent, and the results seem slightly more in range.

John,
You should be seeing similar results when comparing the R3000 prints to your old StylusPro 4000, so you are correct to test different settings.

If you haven't already, try these:
For paper type, Ultra Premium Presentation Paper Matte
For rendering intent, Relative should be closest to your screen image. If you are looking for more saturation in your colors, you can try Perceptual. I would avoid Absolute or Saturation.

When printing, double-check in your print settings that the Epson color adjustment is set to off. If not, it will conflict with your color profile.

This all assumes you are printing color images, not black and white.
