Ok so your printer is the problem. Check the carts did you remove the rubber bung?

You are not getting enough ink on The paper, if you were printing a darker image it would be more obvious.

I've responded several times but you don't seem to be paying any attention :-)

You need a profile and you need to know that the inks will be consistent. You can check the settings a hundred times but without a profile your images will never look right.

Hi Justin, I agree that the inks and profile are important going forward but he needs to get it printing first even if the colours are way off.

But it wont print properly without the profile so why bother? Get the profile in and then set everything up or you're just wasting your time surely?

No, the profile just tells the printer how much of each ink tho lay down to get the colour you want. So if you print with the wrong profile the green you get may not be the green you were expecting.
To do it properly you really need to also calibrate your monitor so everything is singing from the same songbook

I'm aware of what a profile does I'm just stating that without a profile the colours won't be right so no matter how much you play with the settings it won't print properly until you install a profile.

The OP hasn't responded directly to my questions for some reason, make of inks, press etc. so I can't offer any more help.
