I have had an 1160 CIS with UT inks idle for about one year. I just started using it again and stepwedges show a noticeable midtone green cast. Otherwise all else is amazingly good. I am using same test stepwedge files as previously and I think the same workflow. Except for the cast the wedges and a couple of prints look great. Is there a possibility that the inks have changed color in some way? Phil Morse PS: Before anyone asks, I print a nozzle check weekly, shake the bottles monthly, and the printer sits on a cabinet with another heavily used 1160 which keeps it moving regularly. The curved wedges were a set I used back when my output was very neutral.
