All at once I have bad Epson 3880 prints. Anyone know what this problem can be? Tries new pringterdriver, tries to print from another Mac, tried new USB-cable. Ink tanks are full enough. Tried cleaning program several times. Printing to a simple Espon XP-860 gives a good result. Sometimes the Epson 3880 comes with a green hue, sometimes (most of the times) the dark parts are inverted.

From which application are you printing ? There are many settings and dialog boxes. If your images are coming out reversed, it sounds like software. Have you specified the correct printer profile and other settings ?
Have you agitated your ink cartridges ?
Have you tried different paper ?
Thanks Ken, tried all kinds of papers, ICC-profiles. Printing from Lightroom. Printing from Lightroom to al my other printers is doing fine.
You don't mention how the nozzle check looks. Did you print nozzle check and did all bars/colors print perfectly?

Yes nozzle check is OK, It looks like something is wrong with the blacks. Here's a print from Adoce Illustrator. The one below is print on xp-860 the one on top is the one from 3880.Attachment 140143
I think I solved the problem. The black print nozzle was not OK. I did the extended test.
I suspected this. It seems like only one ink channel (PK) not joining the party. Odd that the initial nozzle check came out ok!
