#1: EPSON R300 YELLOW TINGE ON PRINTS Author: linearamp, Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2012 6:45 pm — i have a epson R300 with a ciss installed , when i print there is allways a yellow tinge to the colour , i have tried altering the colour sliders in the driver to solve the problem ,but to no avail .
i have cleaned the heads with some fluid called unblock it ,basically with a pipe connected to a syringe and placed on the print head nozzles and pushed the fluid through and left to soak for 20 mins or so .Tried doing cleans within the printer maintenance.
i have tried different paper , different paper settings etc ,wasted loads of prints and ink trying to get shot of the yellow tinge .
i have been printing either through picasa and tried just printing via windows .Turned icm on and off still the same .
my monitor is also calibrated with a syper pro by datacolour.
Do i have to change the profiles within the printer driver ?
download profiles from the internet ?
Please can anyone help me with this problem . before i waste more paper , ink & money
thanks..
Martin

For a lot of people, printing graphics, web pages etc, the colours will be good enough. For anyone wanting accurate colour in photographs the story is different.
Save yourself a lot of time, ink and paper and get a custom profile.
