The colours on the printed paper won't always reflect the final printed colours. What inks are you using?

Are you using CMYK or RGB colourspace. Always use RGB.

Do you have a nozzle check pattern from the printer you could post?

The test images appears to be banded which points towards one of the nozzles not firing correctly.

If you can send the image of the nozzles I'll try to troubleshoot from there.

Definitely sounds like blocked nozzles.

Any joy with a new waste tank yet?
