Has anyone dealt with this before?
I just loaded my 44" z3100 with Hahnemuhle Bamboo Fine Art Paper (290gsm). I've never used this paper before so I calibrated and then had the printer make a profile for it. for a test print I ganged 4 images across a 24 inch wide by 8 inch tall sheet - I just mad a photoshop doc that was 24" x 8" and put the 4 images on it with a quarter inch space between the images. I work in Pro Photo RGB, so the file was pro Photo RGB. I did all the normal things, confirmed that photoshop was handling the conversion, confirmed that I was printing to the correct paper etc. Printed in absolute colorimetric. The spaces between the images printed with distinct tone, sort of a cyan / blue color maybe a quarter stop down from paper white. As I scrutinized the prints I could see that it seems to have printed this tone over the whole image area which of course hurts overall contrast and color. I re calibrated made a new profile and had the same result.
Has anyone ever seen this before or have any ideas as to how to I can correct it? It does NOT seem to print the blue tone when I print in relative colorimetric, or if it does, it is so faint that I can't see it.
Thanks for any ideas
Steve
