    Hi Craig

    Maybe way off mark but I had similar problem with me mimaki.

    Cure was simply to convert my cmyk image to RGB and then import.

    As I say just one thought, I believe you need to split the fault to narrow it down i.e. is it a hardware or software problem first…

    More knowledgeable people than me should resolve this for you in near future I hope.

    Have you tried a test print to ensure all colours are printing? I think if magenta isn’t, you would probably end up with a green hue

    yeah agree… many things

    rgb colours
    profile settings is different to normal
    media is different to normal

    gray is hard colour to print

    Are the right cartridges in the correct slots (e.g is it possible that you might have mixed up cyan with magenta)?

    Just a long shot if you’ve examined all other possibilities
