If you are using EB6 ink, it is various dilutions of the Eboni matte black ink in each of the different color positons. Each dilution has a slightly different warmth. Try doing a nozzel check as the other poster mentioned, clogs will lead to problems. I print with C6(self mixed) on a R2400. I print some images on natural paper for more warmth and some on Bright white papers for more netural tone.

With everything being the same as the first 3 prints, why isn't the 4th print very similar to the other? Can someone please enlighten me? Thanks. > > > Tom > > > > > >
