Digital BW, The Print

Frank,

I am not sure I understand what you have done. R1800 is not a K3 printer. If you have been using 3rd party inks, one option is to install the Epson original inks, and if you get good nozzle checks, print with a well known paper for which you have a good profile. Using Epson paper will help diagnose your problem.

Can you share which inks you are switching to and from?

Today  I switched out my K3 inks in my R1800, which I was told I could do when I bought the K3 inks and after running about a dozen prints thru the printer, it still prints dark and off color. I would think it was my monitor but my R1400 prints on the money. I calibrate about every six weeks. I printed some prints while upping the brightness factor in +30  increments in PS3, but the colors were still off and dark.  I have run three cleanings/nozzle checks.
