Digital BW, The Print

Did you do a nozzle check? Could be clogged nozzle. The ABW does use 
more than just the K, LK, and LLK.

Another idea, far-fetched. If you make a side-by-side comparison with 
the Canon print AND if Canon is biased towards a cool toned print, 
your eyes/brain might be fooled into thinking the Epson print is 
yellow, especially under incandescent (tunsten) light.

Good luck.
