hi , if someone can help me figure this out i would appreciate it my epson XP-960 printer its printing out with blue cast color on all prints including colored and black white photos , i had just re-installed new inks which are not epson inks but worked with before with no issues , funny thing is when i change my printing settings to print in “plain paper” colors come out ok on my black white photos and colored ones but the printing quality is bad with bands or stripes across , when i change the paper quality to either premium glossy or ultra premium photo paper prints come out with a blue cast , on my colored prints all colors are visible/printed but they have a very strong blue tint they look horrible and the black white come out blue , its really strange and i tried printing with several printing papers including epson premium photo paper , kodak and even HP same thing happens , i did do a nozzle check and cleaned the printing head and all comes out good i just feel im wasting printing paper trying to fix this.
Hi, First I advise against using generic inks as they do fade over time 6-12months. Next If you have a colour cast leave your settings in Easy Print as Glossy if that’s what you are using. Next go to File-manual print & select “Plain paper-Fine-papersize-untick-high speed. Then click OK it will then start printing. By unticking High speed you should get rid of any lines. Let me know how you go. erniegoulding76@gmail.com
This happened to me when I was attempting to print on “Photo Glossy” paper with “Photo Glossy” settings. I also tried Ultra Glossy paper/settings, but I had the same issue. It took me ages to figure this out, but you need to change the settings to “Premium Photo Paper Semi-Gloss” on both the printer (on the Paper Setting button in front of the printer) and the application you’re using to print. Not all applications have the latter setting (the Photos app on my phone doesn’t), so you’ll probably need to do this from a PC.
