    Hi there

    I seem to be having some printing issues…..

    I ve never had a problem with files printing apart from some pdf’s but that was just the file that had issues with drop shadows.

    but there seem to be a problem printing blacks and greys and cant seem to see where the problem is.

    Im using colorgate rip which only has four icc profiles which were all ok and never really had issue with this..

    The profiles are Dickenson Banner, Matt, MacTac gloss MD5 and MD5 Mactac Matt.

    Strange as its only started happening

    can some shed some light on this

    cheers

    hi mate thanks for the reply so soon

    well the blacks are coming out with a purple tint to it and the greys are the same.

    its as if the colours are not mixing properly

    i dont know why suddenly it would change, unless you are saying something is missing from the nozzles on the test print

    Hi there

    im having some serious issues with my printer now…..

    ive been running tests and the test draw shows that there are gapes in the cyan and yellow is only showing half…….

    i know its a daft question but would this be the cause of the printer printing purple tint over all images.

    Now the other issue. This would mean print heads are damaged and we all know how much they cost….$$$$$$$$$$

    My machine is actually out of warrenty…..bad news i know

    what i want to know is there anyone out there who knows someone or can help with getting the machine fixed

    much appreciated for the help

    cheers
