I am trying to print from InDesign to an epson 7600 ink jet printer. I am on a pc platform and I dont have a rip to go through. I did install the software that came with the epson but when I do print the color is way off and dull. I tweaked with the settings a bit but did not have much luck. My question is, is there a way to color calibrate through this method to get close color output. Example, Gamma 2.2, photo realistic, 1440 dpi vs etc. Any ideas?

Color Calibration?

Colour is truly a sticky point when trying to reproduce anything whether pantones or repro images because EVERY printer is different from one another even the same model sometimes, meaning you'd have to calibrate your printer (hardware usually required) or trial and error tweaking of your file to get the desired results, maybe check in a epson help guide with your printer specific issues. Is it that your screen looks different than print or do you have an existing print your matching? It could be your screen needs calibrating (you can do this with gamma wizard?) easily enough, and maybe then you could see if you can choose your monitor's profile and associate it to your printer to get a little closer to what's on the screen.

Keep in mind that if you are converting from RGB to CMKY then the CMYK Colour gamet is going to make the everything look dull.
