epson colour printing
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 |

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? -- Regards, Savageduck |

Given the type of printer, an Epson "Small-in-One" printer, not a dedicated photo printer, I doubt that the OP has even thought of a color managed workflow, or even understands what that means. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Are you using update/current drivers for the XP-405? Are you selecting appropriate paper type via the driver? Can the printer do a self-test print (ie one from within itself, not one generated by a program on a computer). Is there any liquid ink in the magenta reservoir? Have you tried new ink cartridges? Would 'disconnecting' the printer really make it necessary to 'reinstall it with all its software'? (I can see that having the wrong driver on your computer might be a problem but if you've been printing satisfactorily then you've probably got the right driver installed anyway). Usually, in my experience, powering off and pulling all the leads out doesn't lose anything - just plug it all in and power up again and it should all work as before. Dried or clogged ink cartridges or blocked 'heads' are the usual problem with any ink-jet printer. -- -- ^^^^^^^^^^ -- Whiskers -- ~~~~~~~~~~ |

I have tried replying to the threads but they have not yet been posted.
Until now I have been using Windows Live Mail to access nntp.aioe.ord but it does not seem to be working very well. I may try to find another server. Sorry to bother all.

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. "Savageduck" wrote in message news.com...
