So it's sounding now like the "new" inks, which are a year old, may have produced a purge page that is identical to a much older one. So, maybe my harassing MIS about this is not the way to go.
Is it possible when you used the "new" inks that they had not been agitated? Maybe they'd settled? Just guessing here.

Paul:That is correct. I can add that about two weeks before this happened, I printed three images for a local competition; one was with the neutral curve on RR Metallic paper, one was RR Polar matte with no curve and one was RR Ultrapro Satin with the warm curve. All printed normally.I’m tempted to believe that the difference is using the “newer” batch of UT14 ink, which I’ve had on hand for about a year, but it was the tone change in the first print of the next printing session that caused me to notice the difference. (RR Metallic with the neutral curve.) Also, after printing the purge page last night, I found an older purge page I’d printed long ago. They are identical. I'm pretty sure the new batch of ink is a red herring.I’m more than willing to believe that my problem is a process error, but I can’t find anything that I’m doing differently. Very puzzling.Homer Shannon
