I am actually converting mine to Cone Color ink and there’s even a profile for that on the turboprint site. Then your prints should come out with no strange cast issues. Then you choose the paper/ink combo you named in step 3 in the printer dialog. You choose the Turboprint version of the printer (not your previous one you added a while back).

When you enter that in the dialog, then you click Import to load the profile (NOT THE ICC profile!).

#Install gutenprint ubuntu 16 drivers
Note these are TWO separate files: TurboPrint | Printer Drivers Then also download the profile for the Turboprint driver to print with, which is in the table beneath the ICC profiles. in GIMP you can add a softproof profile in the settings). Then go here (for your printer) and find both the ICC profile for softproofing (e.g.Configure the printer - in the turboprint configure tool you must add the printer there.Note that the driver is distinctly separate to gutenprint. Even though my test print still require some improvement, I’m regaining confidence that I could stay in Linux to print color and black and white photos. It could also be that really is all due to TurboPrint driving the printer. Perhaps it is just a matter of recognizing what those are and copying them over to gutenprint. I suppose that the difference is on the default parameters that TurboPrint uses.

But definitively much better than before. I have installed now TurboPrint and the first print looks neutral enough! Not perfect in the very dark patches where I can still distinguish some greenish stuff. It was never possible to obtain a neutral look on the gray only areas of this image (greenish cast). I’m reviving an Epson R2400 that was sitting there for a couple of years.ĭuring the weekend I printed a test image from darktable and gimp through gutenprint. Many thanks for pointing out to TurboPrint.
