Printing Woes ...

    Howdie,

    I debated about posting this here or in Computers but reckoned ye guys would have a better understanding of my problem.

    Was asked today by a client for 8-10 7x5's for a sponsorship package that he could show to companies. Printed off the first two, two up on an A4 and the colours were very murky & green with virtually no saturation and definitely no 'pop' to them. Same with printouts 2 & 3. I know my monitor is out of calibration a bit but there is no way on God's green earth its this much out.There is also a cast across the photos ?

    For instance; this photo -

    coyne.jpg

    is very dark, and the yellow is more a flu-green ?

    It's a Canon IP3000, ink tanks are Canon, used Canon Semi-Gloss & Aldi' brand of Rex Office Glossy photo paper (have been using these for ages and have only gotten but the best results)

    I've changed no settings or their has been no hardware changes.

    Any ideas ?

    Blocked tank or print head. At a push get them done in local chemist if you need them in a hurry.

    That yella is coming out a bit green on screen...

    You could always pop it into Mulligans or Boots in the morning?

    Other than that, I think Trev has a half decent print set up at home?
