Title: Epson 4800 prints are green, help!
Post by: rwwong on August 04, 2008, 07:23:36 pm

I have been using the Epson 4800 for about half a year now.  I've been happy with my results using the EyeOne display2 monitor calibration and epson's printing profiles.  Just today my prints have come out green, I did a head cleaning as I was showinf the Light Magenta head was clogged, it helped, but it still comes out green.  The prints are coming out a little muddy too.  All of my Inks are almost all out, so I can't do a power cleaning, I'm sure this would help.  Would having low inks play a factor in muddy and green prints?
Thanks!

Prints going suddenly green is usually due to the "Off (No color adjustment)" option not being selected in the driver. Apple's flaky print presets make this a common and understandable problem for mac users. Double check all of your driver settings, including this one.

Low inks shouldn't be a problem. If your nozzle check passes then you are good.
