ho_co Posted April 12, 2014 Share #1 Posted April 12, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) File looks okay on screen, but leaves print up blotchy. Epson R3000 with various papers, matte and glossy, and various profiles. In all cases, leaves lose all gradation. Photoshop "out of gamut" warning appears in the leaves. In the accompanying print scan, I cranked back the green saturation and the "out of gamut" warning disappears over most of the leaves, but the blotchiness remains. What am I forgetting? Thanks.

Richardgb Posted April 12, 2014 Share #2 Posted April 12, 2014 Sorry, I can't help with what control(s) you may have missed, but as an observation it's not just the greens, but the shadow areas. Look at the street lamp, very dark in the original, grey in the print. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_Miller Posted April 12, 2014 Share #3 Posted April 12, 2014 You might try doing a nozzle check on your printer. Typically when I see wrong colors and especially banding it is a clogged printer nozzle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ho_co Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share #4 Posted April 12, 2014 Luke, you're right. Thanks for the suggestion. Printhead cleaning solved the problem. Richard, you're right as well. Everything was fixed by the head cleaning. Duh... Forumites, please disregard the original post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanyasi Posted April 14, 2014 Share #5 Posted April 14, 2014 I hadn't printed in about six weeks before this past weekend, which is unusual for me. The first thing I did was a nozzle check. The system reported six of the heads were clogged. It took three power washes to get the nozzles unclogged, but the first print was perfect. That has become standard practice for me when I am away from printing for awhile. It uses some ink, but saves on wasted paper and aggravation.

Jeff S Posted April 14, 2014 Share #6 Posted April 14, 2014 I run a quick nozzle check before any 'important' print session; clogs aren't always as obvious as this. [And, once you've seen this, you'll always recognize it.] Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
