Print Preview is a huge trouble maker! Glad to help!

That's great. Glad to have you on board.

Thanks.

You're welcome!

Thank you Gary. Incorrect color reproduction is the result of many possibilities. Hope my videos will help. Check out the Color Management PLAYLIST. It covers all the aspects to provide with that " What You See is What You Get" condition.

Glad you solved it.

Jose Rodriguez Also, this was the first time changing the ink since I bought it several months ago. I noticed that after I replaced my cyan and magenta, the print quality wasn’t as good as before. I could see a cyan tint on my artwork. I took the cartridges out and gave it a better tap and shake. I also pushed in on the cartridge plunger a few times that is located on the back. Now everything is back to printing perfectly!!

Disable preview.

Glad I could help.

You're welcome!

Sudden color balance change is always due to a particular cart or carts not providing required ink flow. But you didn't mention what printer this occured on. That would help.

This worked for me on my Canon MX922 for Cyan. Phew!

Bingo! That did it. I had the identical problem. Removed the blue cartridge and put it back in 2 times. My pics are coming out great once again. My printer is an Epson SureColor P400.

I have never owned an HP printer whether office type or for photography but I assume color management would remain pretty much the same as with any other brand. The first thing I would ask you to do is to print a standard image simply letting the driver control everything use a photo paper compatible with your HP printer Choose the matching Paper type in the drop-down menu in the driver. if you get a neutral result then your problem lies with your own private images. By the way when you open a standard image you never edit it regardless of what it looks like on the monitor. Specially if it is not calibrated. There are so many aspects to this that I cannot begin to begin to point you in any particular direction but you first need to establish that the printer by itself can actually print neutral also perform a nozzle check to determine if any of the color channels are not printing 100%

I no longer have one but I think there is an Advanced tab on the main driver preferences window when you then click on ICM and then no color management or simmilar term.

Yes. That's the problem with tri color carts. Are using genuine carts? That seems pretty low. Also I do not work with up as they no longer produce real photo printers. Only Canon and Epson.

Why not try it simply letting the driver control color and choose a semigloss paper choice in the driver and see if it a problem with their Profile. If it still prints magenta then it is the paper. Not much I can suggest as I am not there with you.

@@cheo1949 YOU - ARE - A - GENIUS! Thanks for your help brother. I was stuck on using the profile for the paper, "which is what we are supposed to do", lol. It's still not perfect but it effeminately looks better. Still trying to get it to the next level, now if I can get my black to come in more black that would be great.

I am afraid you got me there. Sprays are usually solvent based and can indeed cause weird effects on water based ink printed items. I'M sorry that I can't help you out with a possible answer to this.

All 6 channels nozzle check is perfect??? Mac or PC? We're younever able to.print a neutral result? Or just this time.

Wow. AND you get back to us? Pretty cool guy. OKAY first of all, I didn't have "Print Preview" selected so, that wasn't it. Many found that to be the solution but, it wasn't for me :( I'm working from a PC and yes. All 6 colors in the nozzle check show up fine. Actually,that was the first thing I checked. I never had this problem till a week ago when I tried to print this picture. Tried other pictures and the same magenta hue. But, it doesn't show pinkish when printed on my ancient HP 1200 PSC and, it was printed from the same picture viewer program Xnview. I was willing to download the file on their website but, it's for Photoshop. I don't use Photoshop. I have it installed but, never use it. AND, this just happened so... Can't think of anything that could have caused it. Also in Advanced tab under: "Color Management" I ticked: "Color Controls" Color Mode "Epson Standard" and changed Gamma to "1.8" as the Epson website recommended but, no dice. So I then selected "ICM" and "Off (No Color Adjustment) but that too did not help.. I also changed it from "best photo" to "photo" thinking to reduce saturation I guess. That helped on the HP but, not on the Epson Artisian 730 where I do all my printing. Anyhow...

Today the standard is Gamma 2.2 Have you printed the standard evaluation image with just the driver controling color? Open it and print it. Do not edit it. Join my FB Group and go to FILES to obtain it. Watch my color management videos. Assuming you monitor is calibrated, your lrinter operating correctly and you are using tbe proper settings I demonstrate in those videos you sbould be able to obtain neutral results. Color casts are due to improper settings as long as the printer is 100 clog free.

You are not using OEM inks right? And may you need to run a Nozzle check to determine what color channel is not printing or feeding ink. Very likely your Cyan and yellow are not printing.

First of all when you print on Plain paper that printer is probably using a pigment base black ink and when you print photos it will revert to a photo type Black Ink which is usually dye based and is not true black. It's actually a deep purple. The driver needs other colors to composite and create a true black. You should try to print with just the driver and see what happens since you're using Photoshop to manage color are you turning off color matching in the Canon driver and then using a matching paper profile in Photoshop? If you are not doing that then you're double profiling

You're on a Mac right??? It's not available on your driver. If you have print preview on, disable or your MAC driver will produce Magenta prints. No offence but that is I will never use a MAC for printing photos. It tries to automate tbings because it thinks you are not smart enough to set up your color managent settings yourself.

Yikes. Can you suck the ink out of the tank with a syringe needle?

That sounds like a software problem and not due to ink problems. I've never seen that so can't begin to suggest a solution.

@@cheo1949 turns out a bad wireless connection caused the problem after disconnecting the printer and reconnecting its printing pictures just right

There is "Something" about magenta casts on prints done on a MAC System and no one has been able to put their finger on WHY! Sorry but I am on Windows 10 running 13 pro level photo printers and I never experience that.

Boy you are in a field I know absolutely nothing about! Zero, Nada! Other than different transfer situations might equate to different results, I can't honestly free any suggestions. On your second question, yes you might want to take a look at your rollers. By the way, what printer are yoiu using again?

I’ve bought a Aficio Ricoh 3410DN...... I still think it might be a problem with the ICC....

Run your nozzle check which will show what channels are blocked either due to lack of use of using bad cart not originals. If you are using original carts run a cleaning cycle and print another nozzle check. if you are using compatible carts, stop. Until your print head is cleared, DO NOT print any more images of you will permanently damage your printhead.

I have no idea as you are not using OEM inks. And what is a Pallet? I also do not use any HP Printers. You need to double check your driver settings and also run a nozzle check to see what colors channels may not be printing. That would cause crazy color shifts.

That is what will happen after only printing using black ink for a long period of time. All I can tell you is to continue trying to clear out the clogged CMY channels. At the worst you would have to begin again with a fresh printer. Hopefully not.

Windows or MAC?

What inks and what Glossy Paper. The black ink is not compatible apparently with your glossy paper.

@@cheo1949 I'm using the ink that came with the printer I believe its called 502 black ink. The paper is HP glossy. Thanks for the reply !

It's the paper!!! HP papers are not compatible with other printers inks.

Yes!!! I bought Epson paper and the black color looks much better. Thank you!

We do not use HP here but basically your print head is clogged. Run cleaning cycle ans nozzle check.

Well your lines or Print head are not allowing ink to flow from the tanks either because of clogs. Are you positive you have ink in the tanks? Sorry but I do not use those printers as we only work on PRO Photo Printers here.

Thank you for the reply!!! And yes I am positive there is ink in the tank. May i ask what is the best thing to do in this case??

Your printer uses dye inks which hardly ever clog unless it has sat for a long time. Open up the printer top and long at your inks lines and make sure you have a solid yellow magenta cyan and black without any gaps ( Air ). Other than deep cleanings followed by nozzle checks.

Thank you very much sir!!!

It's great that you reply to you reply to your viewers!!

You are very welcome

If your test prints look great but your edited images are magenta...guess what? Your monitor needs its white point adjusted as it may be causing to akter your images to the point they look good but are actually on tbe magenta side. The spyder calibrators are not rely that good.

@@cheo1949 Thanks for the quick response. I wasn't really clear with my question. I went to Advance in the printer dialog box to select the ICM button to stop the printer from managing the color and allow only Lightroom Classic manage the color and when I did Lightroom Classic crashed. I was wondering if you've heard of this before? Thanks again for your time and help.

ICM means the printer IS managing color. Or did you then pick no color adjustment or control? I forget what the 2200 calls it.

That's because they no longer make Pro photo printers which is what I deal with. Your print head or the cart is not flowing ink as it should.

Magenta cast problems are caused by common work flow errors and MAC driver. Need to know the printer and whether you are using OEM inks or not. In my channel main page there is Magnifying Glass icon. I simple clicked it and put in "Magenta cast" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g85djJR9rtjenHU.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jdKkfbJeu7q7Yp8.html

Jose Rodriguez Hi Jose, thank you for responding. I have a Canon PIXMA 610 which has been excellent over the years. I have used compatible inks for years, with no problem until recently. I have also deep cleaned the ink jet heads but with no improvement. Perhaps a new printer?

Watching it right now on my phone. Seems to look fine to me.

You get that AFTER you transfer? What are your printer driver settings?

@@cheo1949 i get it on my print, even before transfer. 6 months ago there was no problem at all. I allready try an other computer but it's the same.

@@marnixduprez7432 are all you color channels 100%? Run a nozzle check.

Always run a nozzle check any type you do not get the proper color rendition. Then if needed, run a cleaning cycle. Now say pdf prints black. And that's normal? I need to know your actual settings from your computer ( forget phone that is not color managed ) as well as your printer's driver. Assuming your inks are flowing 100% as determined by a nozzle check, off color is due to work flow inconsistencies.

Need a lot more info.

Have you done a nozzle check to see that ALL you color channels are firing 100%? Are you printing allowing the driver to control color or your editing app using a matching ICC profile? Also, did you ever get correct color on your prints at all in the past?

Jose Rodriguez yes I cleaned head and nozzles several time. The summery is: I finished LM color and I put a little M in the tube, then all prints become reddish! I made LM tube empty and bought new LM and filled it. Then selected a red sunset photo and printed few to reduce red! But still didn’t work! Before this, from my Imac I was printing straight away perfectly all images without using photoshop or any other program but today finally I went to advance setting of Epson window and I selected Standard Print and not Vivid color print. The result was much better but every time I should go to set printer and before was automatically set and perfect result. Please advice. Thank u

Original inks? Or third party. You have not told.if you grab nozzle check. That is the first thing you must do and color changes. Occur. W as your color correct before you added ink? You have an I'm f!ow.problem or air in the system. Nozzle check will tell you if you have a double air in the system and in the print head dampers.

Sorry but I am only familiar with dedicated photo inkjet printer. I don't know the printer you are referring to.

Most professors only have book learning and zero hands on.

@@cheo1949 so true

I have no idea what you are asking. Is this a pro photo printer? If not then I don't really know what you mean by BLUE. maybe you mean CYAN.

You could have custom ICC Profiles made bit so you know the inks used on those printers are pretty much horrible and only really suitable for document printing on plain paper regardless of their claims.

Wrong color in what regard? Have you printed the UNEDITED Evaluation Image found in my FILES tab in my Facebook group? You can not evaluate a printer's output unless you print a CONTROL image. If your monitor is not calibrated for linear neutrality, contrast, brightness and white point and you edit on it........... well, how do you know if what you see on it is even correct. Then you edit while trusting that what you are seeing is actually accurate. See what I mean? Print the Eval image and look at it for neutrality and simply....does it look correct. If it does then it's your display introducing errors. When you print the Eval image just open it and print it. Let the DRIVER control color. Use Canon paper and choose that paper in the DRIVER media menu. If you are on Windows which I hope you are, choose Color / Manual Adjustment then MATCHING and then ICM. The driver will automatically link the job to the CANON paper you chose in the media menu. On MAC......well I am not sure. Good luck. Check out my Basic Printing PLAYLIST.

@@cheo1949 wow ok, thank you. Not on windows, Mac I’m afraid. Also don’t have Facebook… not doing too well am I. I used a spider screen calibration device, and a target sheet provided by the paper company (Marrutt), which shows the colour to be more magenta. My greys are warm, almost brown instead of the slate grey that they should be. I’m sending files from my iPad to my iMac, where the colours are consistent on both screens, but they always print this way. I will get someone who used Facebook to find me the Eval file, thanks

What’s seems odd, at least to me, is that even when I select grayscale printing, the black and white images are much warmer than they should be, where as I was expecting that to complete;y desaturate them.

@@cheo1949 Hello again... so I just tried the red river trouble shooting and it seems that when I allow the printer to manage the colours and select canon colour matching, the colours are more accurate. still too dark but not pink/brown as before. so I guess apple is blocking the profiles and I just have to not use photoshop, which is pretty frustrating but oh well. thank you for your help with this!

Any time!

You mean Magenta! Since it is a CISS type printer I think you damaged it internally.

@@cheo1949 why should I do now ? I have done nozzle clean, head cleaning several time.

Repair center. Its imposible to know what has taken place when it was dropped.

It's the inks my friend. They are very cheap. Not much you can do about it. I almost bought an L series printer just to have one to review and I decided against it.

printer L805 sir

Have you ever been able to make neutral prints? I don't use that printer as its not really for quality photo work.

@@cheo1949 but this is we use everyday for photo printer

But have you at ANY time gotten a neutral print with it? I am trying to figure out it this is a sudden problem with the printer or if this is the printer's baseline performance and is best it can do.

Have you ever tried printing A Standard Image? And not one you've edited. Also are you using a complete color managed workflow? What inks are using? If not original or at least OEM matched 3rd party ones then there is not much to discuss.

Jose Rodriguez yes I've tried a normal Image. I watched the red rover KZfaq video. I've watched this video 3 times. And now tested 19 a4 glossy paper. still pink.. I'm using a can iP7200 but im now questing am I using the correct icc profile... aaaghhhh going mental with this.

Jose Rodriguez yes using OEM INKS. Printer is virtually brand new. few weeks old.

Then it is a work flow problem. Can you describe in total detail how you are printing? Monitor calibrated? I need to know every detail then I can catch if there is something missing in the process.

I do not know your printer model. I have loots of canon printing menus demonstrating the correct workflow to achieve neutral prints. Stop ways ng your no and paper and get it right from the start.

No idea what you are talking about!

Jose Rodriguez sorry for making you confused, that was a meme

Way over my 69 year old head!

Jose Rodriguez knowyourmeme.com/memes/printer-magenta?full=1 Here is the source of the meme i was talking earlier :)

Stupid. Has nothing to do with his video go play

There is No way for me to know what could be going on with your printer unless I was working side by side with you.

That's a start.

Video Descriptions! Read them for a change.

Explanation please.

I doubt that! SHOW US!

LOL. Obviously a Short attention span sufferer!

First of all your skin must be super thin. Some people can't take dead honesty! I have to repeat myself over and over and that will often ruffle some feathers. I noticed the rest who viewed it tend to disagree with your reaction. I think 30k followers speaks differently!

Yep. I did. Don't like it? Don't watch.

You obvious NEVER watch my videos. I was reading the report from Red River. Yes I told you not be lazy and search my 1400 and then complain. I didn't lead you my the hand because I do not cover your model. If it was actually a photo printers I may have. I know nothing about the Eco Tank printers and I didn't have my Crystal ball with so I would magically solve your bad ink flow problem. The suggestions I read about were from a major paper producer. I provide are about workflow and not because your tank printer has air in a line. It will happen again..i guarantee it. There are always other channels to watch...or are there? Oh and everyone else did love the info but sorry you didn't.

i was thinking the same thing Chris

Thanks
