Epson 9900 printing magenta faces
dgberg:
2 pictures attached show the problem. 3880 prints a perfect image.
Printed 40 samples on my 9900 and not one is usable. Nozzle test is perfect.
Tried different profiles from other papers, no matter what I do the faces come out red.
NEC profiled monitor looks perfect. Color management off so no double profiling unless it is not being turned off internally.
Suggestions??
Mas OSX 10.10
Printed on the 9900 with 2 different computers, PS and LR CC
Also tried PS 6 and LR 5 stand alone same issue with all.

Hi Dan,
Considering the testing you have done, it certainly does seem that this is a printer issue. I've been using the 9900 since early 2010 and have experienced some issues, but nothing exactly like what you have described here. Before the 9900 I worked with the 4000 and 2-7600s. One thing I have discovered after printing with these machines since 2004 is that even though the nozzle check seems to print perfectly, occasionally it is not s true indication of what's happening beneath the hood. Having said that, my question is, have you actually run a cleaning cycle? Having followed and participated in this forum for many years I am well aware of your presence here and I have a lot of respect for the degree of knowledge you have within this industry. However, there are occasions when the obvious isn't necessarily obvious. I have learned that lesson the hard way, and in this case I would suggest a cleaning cycle if not already done. Just a suggestion.

Hi Dan
I had a similar issue once in my 9600 and end up being one of the opposite colors, either Cyan or Light Cyan that was very low on ink and the printer didn't show as being low.
A new cartridge fix it.
Hope it helps
Hugo

I had some minor clogging but it cleaned up with a pairs clean.
I can try the full clean tomorrow to see if that helps.

Deleted and reloaded the printer this morning and also updated the driver, no change.
Printed another painting from the same artist with faces and they also came out all red on the 9900. Printed the new face image on the 3880 and it came out perfect??
