I may be way off, but you may have a clogged ink. Do a test and a cleaning, if needed, on your P600. Good luck.

The printer I have Epson P600 checks out fine, only the faces are the issue. I can't just select the face only and edit it cause on the monitor the pic is perfect. Like I mentioned all other pics (without faces) match perfectly from monitor to printer. I will try letting the printer manage colors. Right now I have Photoshop managing color.

Ding, Ding, Ding!

This answer sounds very true.

I had the same problem with my Canon Pro-10. After calibrating, profiling for days it turned out to be a clogged nozzle.

All of the test prints on the P600 come out perfect but thanks for the idea.

Are you using the printer profile for the selected paper? The better papers come with a printer profile that you can download for use from the paper manufacturer.

With a calibrated monitor, better paper, and a printer profile for the paper, you can get really close to a print that matches what you see on your monitor.

Know, however, that the monitor uses back lighting and the paper relies on incident light. So they cannot precisely match each other.

You may run into the phenomenon that brightening the image appearance on the monitor darkens the print.

You will want to read up on this subject.

All my photos look great in Photoshop but when printed on Epson P600 the faces are red like sunburn and the rest of the pic is fine..This happens to all the printed pics. Can't figure out if it's a Photoshop issue or not. I can turn down the contrast to almost nothing and that helps some but not good enough. Any ideas would be appreciated..

Yes I always use the Epson paper specific profiles. Thanks!
