Color Shift on one image only

Color Shift on one image only

2002-12-05 by frankp1_98

I got an Epson 2200 last week and am very pleased with both color 
images and B/W. 

However I'm having serious color shifts on one particular b/w image. 
The image was scanned from a b/w negative. I've printed it 
sucessfully on another (HP895) inkjet. However, when I print it on 
the 2200 using Photoshop 7 with either the Epson color profile or 
the Lepp profile on semi-gloss paper, the color shifts tremendously. 
It looks solarized with the deepest shadows a wierd solarized 
blueish color. The soft proof looks fine on screen as does the image 
on my monitor. Photoshop says the image profile is untagged gray in 
the lower task bar. 

I've printed other b/w images sucessfully, one of a waterfall on 
11x17 glossy paper that knocks my socks off. It also was scanned 
from a negative and is untagged gray.

I even tried changing the image to an RGB in Photoshop (Image-Mode-
RGB)with the same wierd solarized effect. also I tried re-aligning 
the print heads 

I'm going crazy and wasting a lot of ink and paper trying to see 
whats wrong.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
