Title: Lightroom CC
Post by: [email protected] on July 26, 2019, 05:34:16 pm

I am having a problem with prints showing blacks as gray. This a new problem for me and I don't know if it is my Epson P-600 printer or lightroom.
It even happens with prints I have successfully printed before.
Thanks
Bob

I think there is some more detailed info needed before someone can help;

OS?
maybe a screendump of the print window?

Have you done a nozzle check?

Try making a print using say Preview or, with an ICC profile, the ColorSync utility (unless you've got Photoshop as well). If you see the same issue, it's not the application but your printer and yes, you really need to do a nozzle check first and foremost.
