Default epson colour printing

Thank you for responding.
I am running windows 10 on my desktop and the basic set up of the Epson
XP-405. Drivers are up to date. The inks are genuine and I am trying to
print on Epson Glossy paper with best photo setting.
The printer setting is Color Mode Epson Vivid.
I have tried to adjust the colours from the Colour Circle without success
however I have now done another nozzle check/clean and the printer is
working a bit better but colours still not right.
if i selected the red quadrant of the colour circle is this likely to adjust
the colour of the print?
Thank you.

I have an Epson XP-405 printer and despite using genuine Epson inks the
printed colours are not right. The pinks and Magenta are coming out
yellowish and even a scarlet red is a dull yellow. I have cleaned the
heads, unticked the grey scale, checked the driver, done all I can think
of
including trying to reset the colours from the colour chart (circle).
Can anyone give me advice? I am reluctant to disconnect the printer and
then have to reinstall it with all its software.
Thank you


To start with there are a few things that we need to know:

What computer OS are you using?

Do you have a calibrated display?
Even just using the basic calibration instructions will be better than
nothing if the calibration has been screwed up.

What software are you using to print?

Are you using update/current drivers for the XP-405?

Are you selecting appropriate paper type via the driver?
