I have a HP DESIGNJET 450C with this issue. All prints are PINK (Magenta)? Could you help with a link to the video for colour management with drivers etc...

[@cheo1949]

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%

[@keithcollins]

I use a Canon MG5650 with Photoshop cc. If I print a jpg image on plain paper the black is black. If I print the same image on the glossy setting the Black is deep magenta. I let PS manage the colours. I have changed the black ink cartridge and run a test page OK. Help!!!

[@cheo1949]

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

[@jerichorodriguez8202]

I am printing my decals using my Canon iP2770 for my customized Hot wheels. Since I'm using a water transfer paper it needs Acrylic clear coat after printing, and after drying it up for like 12 hours it starts to have pink colors. I am not really sure if it is reacting with the Acrylic paint or is it the ink cartridge itself. Please help. :/

[@cheo1949]

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.

Hi I have an Epson ET-2750 and we are soo confused, it keeps printing everything Magenta. If I print a pdf it prints black but has a hint of red in some spots, but if I print a picture of a document either from my laptop or my phone it prints magenta. I'm confused on how to fix and I've tried so many things please help!

[@cheo1949]

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.

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.

What about Kodak printers I have a problem with the images they print out black and i did a print head clean and they still print black please help

[@marciacohen1988]

I have an older HP Deskjet printer that is printing very inaccurate colors for some of the color pallet. It's a brand new color cartridge (non HP). When I print the colors in DRAFT form, the colors basically match the color pallet (but they are light of course being in draft). But when I print the normal print intensity, many of the darker shades flip to another color entirely. So a dark blue on the original pallet becomes a hot pink or maroon on the printed page. A darker magenta on the pallet becomes an olive green on the page. A darker green becomes a blue or purple, and a darker yellow, gold or orange becomes purple. Any suggestions Jose?

[@cheo1949]

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.

[@g14infanteloisejillianm.30]

Hi! Please answer my question. I would really appreciate it. I am 13 yrs old and I am trying to fix our printer (Epson L3110) because my dad is not home and nobody else knows how to fix it. So at first my printer wasn't printing yellow it came out as pink then i tried to do the nozzle check. It only showed the colors black pink and blue bars. So i clicked the option clean after that it still didn't work so I tried it again. But after that the color blue also won't print so now it only prints the color pink and black. Please answer... THANK YOU!!!

[@cheo1949]

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.

[@g14infanteloisejillianm.30]

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??

[@cheo1949]

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.

Hello Jose. I have a Canon Maxify, MB2720 that prints pink/magenta instead of the color red. The printer properties box and printer driver area do not allow me to adjust the colors, etc. How would I disable color matching on this particular Canon model?

[@_desertwalker_]

Gday Jose, Just wanted to say you solved all my problems with my vapor Apparel sublimation printing. Turn Off the setting in color matching. No more bleed or magenta coming from the black ink. Many Thanks.

[@sa4555]

Another great video as always, found it hiding in the playlist. As an OSX user, I have to agree that with every new update Apple just messes up the printing drivers, and sometimes they dont ever bother to correct the errors. This problem usually effects more of Canons then Epsons. I usually use my own profiles as I print on range of media with different types of inks, but I can not use Mac ICC profiles on Windows or other way around, so I have to create separate profiles. To disable printer controlling color profile, in color matching part of the printer driver I just select Generic RGB which disables printers controls of colors and then use the printing program with appropriate profiles to print. On Windows disabling printer color control is far simpler and easier.

[@susanhooper6382]

I have an old Kodack ESP C310 I changed the color ink and now have a pink tint in only the black and white print....don't know what is up, I have never had any problems with this printer before. I mention this here in the comments because Kodak isn't addressed in your video.

[@cheo1949]

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.

[@WAlycia]

I have an HP 4630, I put in a new HP 61 Tri color cartridge and after 30 good color pages (I was printing digital prints), my brown turned pink. Will I need to replace my cartridge for one missing color after 30 pages? This is my first time printing digitals.

[@cheo1949]

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.

[@agalaxy8992]

What worked for me is that the Blue was missing on the nozzle check, I just took the blue cartridge out and put it back in 2 times and it started working again.

[@cheo1949]

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.

Sorry for beating this horse. But I can't get my Epson 3800 to print properly on RR Satin. It does fine on Glossy paper and Epson luster. Yes, I watched the Epson videos on the 3800 and have management and other settings set perfectly. I also did a nozzle check and it came out perfectly, even the yellow channel. Did two wasteful cleaning processes and it still has a magenta cast. I am not using a "preview" when printing. As I mentioned I am using the correct printer profile for the paper and no color control in the print module so there are no conflicts. I have reviewed the settings over and over again and followed Epson video precisely and nothing gives. any ideas will be appreciated.

[@cheo1949]

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.

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.

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.

[@cheo1949]

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.

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.

You're very thorough. Thanks for taking the time to put this up here for us. Unfortunately, none of these fixes worked for me. Nozzle check reveals all cartridges are working. Went to the article too. Bummer. I have the Epson Artisian 730 and I'm trying to print a great 1940s black and white photo of my old neighborhood in the Bronx but, it's pink, no matter what I do. Anyhooo...

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

[@Annettesmusic]

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...

[@cheo1949]

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.

HI sir! Good Afternoon how to fix red color or pink result of my printer ?

[@docsolar4337]

printer L805 sir

[@cheo1949]

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

[@docsolar4337]

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

[@cheo1949]

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.

Where is the link he talks?

[@cheo1949]

Video Descriptions! Read them for a change.

Hi Jose, Thanks for the tutorials on printers. I am just starting a business up in sublimation printing. The problem I'm having is when I print a wrap sheet the image looks dull which I expect on sublimation paper. However, when I produce a mug the photo looks darker than displayed on the monitor. I have carried out head clean, print tests and I ensured the colour management is only using the icc colours I bought from the suppliers. The other issue I have is after creating a mug I have noticed a number of black lines running along the top of the mug, the black lines are not noticeable prior to using the heat press. This makes me think the rollers need cleaning as the printer paper went though the printer twice as if it was printing a double sided page. I have no idea why this started to happen but notice my printer paper was laying faced down after completing a printing job. How do I clean the rollers without damaging it. I am told that my printer is not covered by the warranty because I have used sublimation ink! I am going to scroll through your tutorials to see if I can find a tutorial on my problem. Thanks Anj - UK

[@cheo1949]

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?

[@asp9990]

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

[@mrz1342]

i have imac to epson L850 by the way!

[@cheo1949]

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?

[@mrz1342]

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

[@cheo1949]

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.

[@lordnetsplits3192]

35 dollar canon has better photos quality than epson printers

[@cheo1949]

I doubt that! SHOW US!

[@christyhitchcock178]

now it is just not printing at all

[@cheo1949]

Explanation please.

[@michellerichards9948]

Jose your not ugly lol❤

[@sizzlechooch]

10 minutes of tech bs. Your color ink cartridge is empty. Replace it.

[@cheo1949]

LOL. Obviously a Short attention span sufferer!

[@colinshawhan8590]

You spent a minute and a half scolding me for watching your video. WTF?

[@Duncan984]

Had a problem with my printer. Just typed in my situation to see what I can do. I didn't need a rant on how you've already solved this etc. Horrible first impression. This is NOT how you get new people to follow you.

[@cheo1949]

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!

[@yeagermcbipper9008]

How the heck is this useful?

[@Christodoulos-J]

A) you repeat yourself a lot. Made the video almost painful to watch. I don't know how many times you said that you already covered this on other videos, but it was several. B) Nothing you suggested helped me with my problem, so I solved it myself and thought I'd post the solution on here for other people with a reservoir type Epson printer. Mine was printing pink when it should have been cyan. I went into Settings, then Printer, then selected the Epson ET-2650, then Printing Preferences, then the Maintenance tab. Under Maintenance, you can select Power Ink Flushing. This will flush the line if you haven't used your printer in awhile and it gets clogged. I printed a cyan page after that and it looked fine.

[@cheo1949]

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.

[@notalk90thst]

i was thinking the same thing Chris

[@rbx22]

old cocky guy tells 10 min long that he's mentioned the solutions allready

[@cheo1949]

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

[@ashz1234]

Sir I have epson L805. I was refilling the ink but accidentally put magenta on the light magenta refill tank. Can I still save my printer?

[@cheo1949]

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

[@temilola1]

Thank you so much!

[@cheo1949]

You're welcome!
