Welcome to the board.
I have the R2400 also. I fought to get predictable colors that match between screen and print.
I eventually found PowerRIP-X V7.2 from iProof Systems for my print driver, it is installed like a printer and shows up as a printer on the selection list. IMHO, the $200 I spent on the R2400 RIP was money well spent. Between the RIP and the calibrated monitor, my color matching from screen to print is dead on, regardless of the paper type.. no more wasted prints and frustration. They also sell a RIP for the Epson 4800.
They have a demo that you can try. It places a big 'X' across your print, but you can still see most of the print for testing. They encourage you to try it out before buying as they do not offer refunds for ANY reason...

It seems that the outputImage of CIFilter is always gamma-adjusted, the adjustment value could be 1.8 or 2.2 depending on some user preference. For a CIColorMatrix filter, an inputImage in constant white with 0.5 scale matrix would produce an outputImage in 173/255 (for 1.8) or 188/255 (for 2.2) for all components (they are picked with PaintBrush), but 128/255 should be expected

So, how do we disable the auto gamma adjustment so the math is back to linear?

I ran into the same issue and I used the following workaround sequence :

  • using CIGammaAdjust, with inputPower = 1/2.2
  • applying my CIColorMatrix
  • using CIGammaAdjust with inputPower = 2.2

Based on my tests CIFilters are in effect compensating twice : before processing and after processing, this explains my 2 CIGammaAdjust filters.
