I am suddenly getting a magenta cast on all my grey scale and RGB B&W prints.I have reinstalled the Epson 7900 driver in case it was corrupted in some manner, and I spent the better part of today trying every configuration of the Epson ABW driver and Qimage settings and it seems the only way I can eliminate the cast is to add a negative 35 points (adding cyan), into the horizontal tone setting in the advanced settings for ABW. My nozzle checks are fine, and my color prints are fine.which leads me to believe that it is ABW itself that is the problem. I even had a B&W job saved, which had printed fine before, and it is also getting the Magenta cast. I have tried printing on Premium Luster, and even plain office paper with the same results.
I have researched this on LuLa, and it seems others find the ABW mode wonky also.
What bothers me is I never had these problems before, and I'm stumped on this one.
Any Ideas?
Hi David
The story screams out for a Nozzle Clean.
Let me put it this way.... there is a difference between a Nozzle Check and a Nozzle Clean.
It's the same difference between getting a book on dating a girl, and going on a date with a girl.
So let's waste a little ink... at least do an Unclogger run with Mike's Qimage Unclogger.
I would do the strongest Nozzle clean the driver offers also..
I would also make a test print using teh B&W predefined filter in Qimage with the driver in No Color Adjustment mode and the normal color profile that you would use for the paper with a color priint. See if that prints with the same cast.
The object being to be able to decide if it's the ABW that is wonky or the Nozzles are clogged.
Let us know.
Fred
