Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and I'm hopeful I may find some help for my Epson 4900. I use the 4900 and an Epson 3880 regularly and out of the blue the prints from the 4900 appear slightly washed out and have a "cooler" look to them than what I am seeing on my calibrated monitor. I printed the same image on the 3880 on the same paper type and the print matched very closely to what the monitor displayed. I did all the usual things to corrrect the issue on the 4900, head cleaning, verifying no cloging to find there were two but with subsequent cleaning all are now clean. I did a head alignment. At the end the results were the same. I called Epson professional imaging and the rep suggested I uninstall and reinstall the print drivers which I did. I made sure the drivers and firmware are up to date.
I've been printing with Epson Exhibition Fiber paper and, to save money while getting poor prints I tried Red River polar luster. Again, the images printed on the 3880 were good while those printed on the 4900 were slightly washed out and cool. I use Photoshop CS6 for file prep and printing. Using a PC with Windows 7, 64 bit. Up until 2 days ago both printers made nearly identical prints. I'm not sure what to try next. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated, thanks!
