I figured I'd check here first before I give Epson a call tomorrow during business hours. Up until now my printer has been fine. I'm using the new P900.

The printer is pumping out images with yellow and green tint. What in the world?!?

Any idea how to fix this?

WTF?? I had the 3880 for like 6 years and never saw this. LOL. I thought technology was supposed to get better.  Hopefully some advice will be coming soon. :  )

Obvious questions, but have you run a full nozzle check/head clean?  Color management settings ok?

Jeff

Checked the color management and I believe that is good. I didn't think to run a nozzle check though only because I haven't used it that much and rarely had to do so with the 3880.

I'll do it and see if it helps. Thanks Jeff. 

I do recall doing a firmware update the last time I used the printer so maybe something happened there.

Are you using color mangament by printer or any other profiles? I'd recommend the printer's own management with the Epson.

Are you sure you have installed the proper driver for the printer? I once noticed that the Epson driver was not active but the printer run only on the default driver by OS X. I had to load the Epson driver again and it did wonders. Other users in the German forum had the same experience when they used WifI connection between the Mac and the printer.

P.S.: Your mention of the firmware update raises my suspicion if the right driver is installed. It is usually not a printer's problem, but one of the computer.

Could you give more information?  Software you are using to print, details on the computer you are using.

I have never used an Epson printer, I have found with Canon printers that I have to check the settings on the printer driver and on the printer itself, even when I use Photoshop Manages Color.  The settings on all three have to be the same.

I’m so glad I no longer have to deal with these settings issues, color management, print driver and O/S changes and compatibility issues, etc since using ImagePrint.  Makes print workflow seamless, in addition to providing paper profiles, etc.

Haven’t had problems with nozzle clogs after 7 years with Epson 3800, or 5 years with P800. 
 

But IP also works with Canon, another fine choice. I would consider the Prograf 1000 in lieu of the P900, especially given the reduction to 50ml cartridges in the latter.
