Ugh! I am now using Office Depot paper, not as good as Kirkland. Has a bit of yellow tone. But it is working, client won't know.

Relative colorimetric works best.

I used Xrite to cal my 27" on an iMac and the results were the same as the iMac default. I repeated this 4 times to verify I was doing it properly. A friend that is a professional printer with a large business said the Apple monitors are perfect out with the default and he never changes them. After my experience I believe him.

I cannot explain why Photoshop controlling the color was such a mess but it was. Each to their own and their set of skills but when I let the printer control the color everything came together. I suppose some printers may do a poor job and do not have the codes but mine matched screen colors perfectly.

When you let the printer chose the color plan aren't you just letting the computer set the colors to what it thinks they should be and disregarding the color you may have carefully selected or corrected in PP in PP? if that is the case why spend the time to make the shot colors correct?

I replaced my 1900 with the epson 15000. Very accurate printer.
My settings are, monitor gama 1.8. Color management settings are, Relative colormetric, Gamma 1.8. Elements 2018 controls color management.
Color management off at printer.
Costco paper.
What I see is what I get.
