Just make some block of colour (cyan, magenta, yellow, black, red, green, blue) in photoshop. They don't have to be accurate to the printer, just do 100% of each in PS.

This should show up where the problem is in away the nozzle check may not.

I would however, for future, see if there's a way of using ICC profiles in Photoshop rather than the PowerDriver managing the print colours.

I had a problem with an image a few years ago, it was greenish where it should be red. Somehow I had saved the image in a different format, it was no longer a jpeg. It took a long time to find and then it was by accident. One of those "Doh" moments.

Janners

Just found it in my notes, the colour had become a "Textured fill"...no idea what that means.:rolleyes:

Have you changed the image to 16bit by accident maybe or something like that?
you could always email the image but I suspect it’s your settings somewhere as the test pages are printing spot on.

Hi All,
It's happening to all my prints now. I've had to bite the bullet and get another as I have lots of orders waiting. Is there anywhere that this printer can be sent to for a repair or investigation, does anyone know?

Did the test print for 4 colours and black, but I can't really tell what it should be in terms of colour. Though I can say that the 4 blocks of colour are solid.

Cheers all

In photoshop go to Image / Mode
make sure you have RGB colour selected and 8bits.

That's all i can offer in advice and it's just a guess :(

Thanks Mrteajunkie. All settings are as should be in Photoshop. I've got Sawgrass ticket raised now, so they are going to try to help. I've had to buy a new one now though.

Cheers all
