My last tries after cleaning the tile and the spectro:

- calibration on the white tile
- mesaure of the white tile: L:90.47 - a:-1.07 - b:-1.30 - density:0.11
Is it normal?
- measure of white on the natural art duo paper (cyan):
L: 99.46 - a: 1.41 - b: -101.31 - density: 0.01
- measure on a classical white paper (word printing):
L: 99.70 - a: 2.66 - b: -109.49 - density: 0.05

I will ask for a RMA. Do you think that an adjustement is needed
(which I could do with a maintenance software) or that it is an
hardware failure?

Thank you for your help. I hope that it won't have to wait to much
time. I have about 160 A3 to print the next weeks...
