I have just replaced a Windows PC with a MacBook Pro (running OSX Yosemite, Retina screen, Lightroom 5.6 & Photoshop Elements 11 installed). Printer is an Epson Stylus PX720WD. All latest firmware, drivers etc installed.
Problem is that the print quality using LR & PSE on the Mac is dreadful. The image looks way underexposed and there are blank white edges to dark objects against a light background.
Printing the same image on my wife's Windows PC (running PSE11) and using the same Epson gives perfect print quality.
The difference is evidently Mac vs Windows. (same image, same program, same printer)
On Mac (in the LR or PSE print menu), there are few options for paper type, print quality (DPI) etc. (In LR I only see the option to toggle '240 ppp' on or off)
Whereas in Windows I get multiple options for paper type and print resolution (up to 720 dpi).
Ultimately, my processing workflow is LR on Mac, and I want to get them playing nice with the printing (rather than being obliged to export my finished images to another Window PC for printing).
Any help or suggestions on how to resolve are very much appreciated
