Epson EcoTankET-8550 color accuracy

[smb29910]

Hey there!

My sweet husband purchased me an Epson ET-8550 for Christmas not realizing it’s not really a pro-grade printer. Because I’m not about to hurt his feelings, I’m planning to use it, but I want to know what people use for color match settings. I have a calibrated iMac monitor and I’m used to printing with ICC profiles specific to the printer and paper through Photoshop where Photoshop manages the colors. I’ve not seen a way to even get the printer profiles into Lightroom to print from there either.

I’m likely overthinking this, but if I’m going to bother printing my photos, I want the best chance at color accuracy without wasting a ton of paper.

Any and all help doing this with an eco-tank Epson printer is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
Stephanie

FWIW, I’m a semi-pro photographer specializing in weddings and portraiture along with fine art when I’m feeling creative.

Your driver installation should have installed the Epson color profiles. Here is info from Red River Paper on how to install others https://www.redrivercatalog.com/profiles/how_to_install_ICC_color_profiles_mac_apple.html

Is your real problem knowing how to use them?
