Epson S80-600 Printing Issue

[77R]

Hello - I'm experiencing an issue with our Epson SC S80600 printer, where parts of the dark areas of the print are affected. See attached photo. I have done auto head maintenance and manual head cleaning, but it doesn't seem to fix the issue.

Nozzle check looks good, no issues there

Not sure I can see the fault in the print. What am I looking at?

To me, thats in the artwork and the rip is not interpretting it properly and pushing out an odd shade. Have you tried it on other profiles? What rip are you using?

Rip is Onyx Thrive. I've printed it before with no issue. In the photo, that spot is almost black, so I don't think it's in the artwork. It is doing the same thing in other images.

That is an out of gamut color it is trying to produce.
Something has changed in your rip or profile if you've been able to print it before.
Make sure your rendering intent is on perceptual and your profile matches the embedded profile.
