I could see getting a rare bad cartridge, however swapping to a new cartridge didn't get it back to what it printed a few weeks ago. So, fixing the file colors, reprofiling, new media, and different inks and I still have issues with some greys. Both the tech and epson believe it to be a head...

I printed each channel and they looked fine, but I didn't have anything to compare them to. I got a new black cartridge in last week that I'll try swapping and doing an ink refresh.

Not as bad as they were. Most of those are fine.

Much if the image looks better in that picture than it does to the eye. The colors are muted compared to what I know this printer is capable of.

The thoughts from both Epson and the service center I contacted is that the heads might need to be realigned using the service program, or entirely replaced.

it doesn't make a difference if the file is RGB or CMYK, they come out exactly the same. Even swatches from Onyx, which have no profile from illustrator, come out warm.

I profiled the media and many of the greys are still warm, even if I try to manually change the color or print a bunch of swatches. Grimco, where I bought the printer from, believes it's an issue with the printer itself. I'm waiting on a reply from Epson.

unfortunately I only had a backup from a week ago, and that didn't fix it. I tried a different computer that hasn't been updated in quite some time and that didn't fix it either.

If the onyx manual was remotely well written, I wouldn't have a problem. And that's coming from someone who has had to write manuals for both an engineering degree as well as part of work. I ran an entirely new profile this morning, 2500ish swatches, and the evaluation image still doesn't come...

which I'm trying to do, and have tried many times before with crap results. One spot I always get confused on is ink limits, I never know what to set it at after printing. There's no artifacts or anything like the help docs talk about, it prints from solid color to black. Do I pick the...

Yeah, I'm not sure what the heck is going on. I uninstalled everything this morning and started from scratch. I swapped black yesterday, and just swapped out the Cyan and Light Cyan, they were the lowest at like 15%, then I did an ink refresh and it hasn't changed anything. I even tried...

The more I looked at the other jobs I printed, they're off color as well. I think there was something with an update to epson edge dashboard last week that's causing this issue. So in the morning I'm going to totally uninstall everything related to the printer and start from scratch.

I just printed a new job with different art, although it's entirely grey/black. It looks great. So wtf is going on with that particular pattern or set of files?

I did uninstall onyx. Didn't fix the problem.

I mean, I'm running windows on a pretty high spec iMac, with a single printer....it's definitely not related to the processing power or anything. At this point I feel like an update to windows or to the epson dashboard screwed something up. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, deleted all my...

uninstalling/reinstalling Onyx was going to be my next step. Pain in the rear.

No. It has illustrator and runs a plotter as well. But that's about it.

I blew up the new print. And I don't know if the photo shows it well.

And it matches the original fine, since nothing changed in the original. And all this has done is wasted hundreds in material and labor without solving the problem. Nothing in the file changed from last week to this week, it was pulled directly from the previous jobs without reprocessing, the...
