Epson 4800 color cast (Help!)

Epson 4800 color cast (Help!)

2008-06-24 by wayne_ellis_2109

All of a sudden my b/w prints have a blue-green color cast. My Epson 4800 was working 
perfectly until today. What could be going on? Turning the machine off and unplugging it 
didn't help. I've been careful to select only grayscale settings, I thought. Thanks, Wayne

Nozzle check?

Hello Wayne,

>All of a sudden my b/w prints have a blue-green color cast. 

I agree with Michael, it's probably a clogged nozzle.


Regards,
Clayton

Wanye, First check the nozzle pattern. If it looks good, and you haven't
changed your inks lately, you may have had some settling and a color shift
has come home to roost. Shake your inks, replace and make some prints to
clear the mis mixed inks. I think you'll clear them with a little light
work. Good luck.

I had ink that had gotten too old and stale do this to me one time. 
Probably not your issue but just in case ...
