First thing I would check is to see if there is any cross contamination of inks. Do a print test to check that CMY and K are all printing pure.
Secondly – ensure all inks are in the correct ports. (i.e make sure you haven’t inadvertently switched any of the cartridges around – easily done and easily overlooked)
If it’s none of these I would call in an engineer to investigate.

Thanks Phil,
I think the problem is now solved,switched from RGB to CMYK and it was fine.
Thanks

Good call Jill.
I would have suggested something profile related. Silver and grey are very hard for a printer to produce as they will try and make it up from CMYK inks. I often find that disabling the output CMYK profile is enough to make it use just the colours it requires.
