Some basic advice from some one who learned the hard way: First, make sure you have installed the correct drive on your computer. Check both Epson's and Apple's websites. Second, follow the advice already given--buy a calibration device, read the instructions and use it regularly. Third, enroll in lynda.com and view some of the color management courses. Give it some time to sink in and practice ...Then hold your breath and marvel at your own artistry.Have fun!

Totally agree. If a person isn't doing monitor calibrations with a colorimeter like the Spyder -- not by eyeball! -- on a reasonable schedule, they can pretty much expect to have color management problems. Folks who are quick-printing snapshots straight out of their point-and-shoots may not be interested in making the effort, but someone who's willing to invest in a nice printer like this, probably ought to be calibrating their monitor. Just my $0.02.

I just saw your post and have had problems matching color with my printer. I checked with some professional labs and seems like the only solution is to get color calibration software for your monitor. I bought Spyder2. It did well in reviews and was relatively easy to use. There are more professional and expensive packages also. The improvement has been dramatic. You simply cannot accurately calibrate your monitor by eye or by Adobe Gamma. Also make sure you're using Adobe RGB (1998) as your color profile in Photoshop.

I'm just getting into digital photography by buying the r2400 and Nikon D200. I'm using a Mac. Could you please explain, in somewhat laymans terms, about calibrating a monitor and how it is done--where do you purchase these programs? or whatever Spyder2 is and how it is used.

I don't know, i would ask epson directly. Sorry, but I am not that techie enough to answer your question.

I do not know what printer you have, but my Epson Stylus NX215 balked at first, but by removing and reinserting the cartridges, it finally recognized them. It still balks occasionally, but again, I remove and reinstall the cartridges.

I've had best luck if I use the Epson printer control panel and set it for "Grayscale" only. It seems this gives the best B &W; results. It still is not like using Kodabromide fiber paper and Dektol (!!!)...but it's pretty good. Your Mileage May Vary...!!

Karen, I am not aware of any color profiles for this printer/ink combination but I get very good results with the following printer driver settings...Paper type=photo paper glossyQuality=High QualityMore Optionscolor correction=automaticHigh Speed=onMirror Image=on (if you want to flip the image in the driver)Good luck.

I don't think so. I think you want something more along the lines of the Epson Stylus Pro 11880

Depends on how much you love the printer you have. I have the Epson R2000 and love it! It is the best printer I have ever had.

I have an Epson WF-2540, so it's close. I'm OK with them so far. I've noticed a slight difference in color intensity, but very slight. I got this bunch for less than half of what it would cost to get the Epson make, and pictures come out fine. What's annoying is the error messages the printer sends out after the cartridges are installed telling you they're not authentic Epson, but but then things go quiet. The printer was reasonably priced, but it would cost about two sets of Epson refills and you paid for it again. That's not worth it to me. I will shop around again if I need to, but I will buy these again if the price is right. Hope that helps. I have an Epson WF-2540, so it's close. I'm OK with them so far.

Not really sure what the difference is. I have an NX 130.This is what it ways on their description so it's probably ok to use. Printer Compatibility: Epson Stylus: NX125 NX127 NX130 NX230 NX330 NX420 NX430, WorkForce: 320 323 325 435

Blue is normally universally compatible and very forgiving. The only way it might not be is if the device you are seeking to link it with does not support blue connectivity. The Dell device is Blue capable.

you might want to check if the Epson workforce 2530 is the same as my Epson XP-200, because at east for my XP-200 they worked great, I guess as long as your Epson takes the same model of ink as mine, it should be OK,

I think you can use it. The color rendition may be varying from one Manufacture to another. Many manufactures help you substitute within printer software itself. If you have it already I would use it. Amazon also has Epson luster for a few dollars more.

I have no idea. You might check the Epson website for that information on your machine or check your manual.

The cartridges work great in my Epson 2540 Series printer. I do not know about 2530 series as I don't own one. I will mention this though. I bought extended life cartridges and the ones I had installed where normal. The black cartridge is entirely separate so this doesn't apply to it. If you have normal color cartridges installed you will have to change them all to extended life cartridges to install even one. Apparently, when it comes to the color cartridges, all the cartridges have to be of the same type or the printer will respond with a vague error and refuse to work.

Yes, I returned Dell S2415H because the text is not black, gray, gives me a headache because I use it reading news, stock quote. I use the multimedia screen on this monitor and doesn't give me a headache. Compared with my Qnix2710 which is 1440p, I prefer this benq for reading and multimedia use. I returned hp 25xi because of flicker, gives me a headache too.

I have the previous generation of this monitor. Full Resolution through HDMI is not supported on these. Dell decided not to include it in the firmware for the monitor as they did not see many people using devices on HDMI that would go above 1080p. As all dells come with at least on Displayport. If you have an active HDMI to Display port converter it would work coming from your video card to the monitor (your hdmi becoming displayport) as the monitor would see it as displayport. However, this only works if your videocard supports the HDMI versions and cabling as listed in everyone elses answers. I've been VERY happy with my previous purchase and would consider purchasing this version as a 2nd. I have the previous generation of this monitor.
