PIXMA iP4900 prints perfect blue nozzle check, then prints dark green on simple jobs

I have an iP4900 which prints its nozzle check perfectly. Blues look bright and correctly blue. But, when I try to print anything with blue in it, the result looks dark blue green. What could be going on? Settings all factory default.
