Hey Guys,

The 3880 has been a super performer the past few months. I fired up a new PC last week and went to do some print of Guidedog Puppies and in the deep shadows I get band and blue tint.

It happens with Qimage Pro and LR4, having the apps use the Epson Luster profile or having the printer control color.

I am going to delete the Epson driver and reinstall and will try to print from my old system but I am very confused.

Any ideas ??

Thanks
Lou

Sounds like a clogged head. Have you done a nozzle check and a couple of head clean cycles?
