I use two wide carriage printers, HP 1050cPlus, 750cPlus.  Neither's colors matched my screen, I use photoshop cs6.  I calibrated my screen with a Huey Pro, and created a icc profile for the 1050 using a Spyder3.  I do a soft proof in ps and see some green blotches in shadows and other places.  I print on kirkland glossy paper (same as the test prints) and get the same green blotches.  Some of the skin tones are off too.  I'm printing two pages of test prints, a total of 240 patches.  I print using the printers color profile and it is actually better than using the icc I created with my Spyder 3.

Most of the photo came out good, just some colors were bad.  I read somewhere, that I might try printing new test prints but do 720 patches instead, or whatever the number is.

I searched the forum, many hits on "blotches."

I've had the same problem with other printers I have too, but want to concentrate on the designjet 1050 right now.
