I bought a used Epson Stylus Pro 4000 recently and am having trouble eliminating a severe green cast from prints. I have posted a PDF summary of my work flow that shows drivers used, print dialogue box selections, nozzle test results, prints etc. at
workflowIt's a bit hard to see in the low-res PDF, but the nozzle test shows that all 8 colours are printing. The Firmware version is current (ver. I01564 P).
I ran a regular cleaning cycle on the weekend, but not a *power* cleaning yet. Most tests have been done on Epson Enhanced Matte EPS41341, but glossy Epson photo paper yielded the same results. Same with printing from a notebook and Photoshop CS.
I am wondering if it might be a driver/profile issue, or something else. One friend wonders if I may have calibrated my monitor incorrectly, but the test target displays properly (as do other image files), and I do not [yet] understand how a bad monitor profile could affect print output and not just display.
Epson's techies suggested via email that I try printing with Epson's driver in Auto mode or reinstall the driver, but neither of these made much difference. I live in a remote location and hope to avoid a long trip to an authorized service shop.
Running Photoshop CS2 under Win XP, Pro Pentium 4 1.8 GHz 1.25 GB RAM
Connection to printer: USB cable via hub.
File types being printed: JPEG & PSD.
Any suggestions?
thanks,
Bill Horne
