[Gimp-print-devel] Color balance on Epson Stylus Photo R800

[Chris A. <ch...@ab...>]

Request for & offer of help:

I'd like to solve this myself if I can but I need a bit of help getting
started.  I have my Epson Stylus Photo R800 working with
gutenprint-5.0.0.99.1 but the color balance is awful.  Yellow green
skin, etc.  Is there a patch or set of parameters that will fix this?
I've tweaked some of the params myself, with a bit of improvement but
this is a laborious (and expensive with photo paper) process.  If there
isn't a fix readily available, can anyone tell me the best way to go
about this and then contribute the values / patch back to gutenprint?
I'm a professional software engineer with a lot of years using Linux,
but I know nothing of gutenprint's architecture or image processing or
color theory, etc.

I really would like to help but it's a bit daunting...  If anyone has
time to help a newbie help the project please reply directly rather than
clutter up the list.

Thanks in advance.
