Canon Pixma Pro 100 wrong colors

1drworx — Mon, 07 Dec 2020 23:35:36 GMT

Hello, I am getting wrong colors when I do a print with blue in it. The blue colors are coming out as purple! And yet some prints are perfect. I am also getting magenta and grey when trying to print in black and white. Help

Welcome to the forum.

Does a nozzle check print correctly?

Hi 1drworx,

Please open the cover to your PIXMA PRO-100. Please verify that the following ink tanks are installed (left to right):

CLI-42 M
CLI-42 PC
CLI-42 Y
CLI-42 BK
CLI-42 GY
CLI-42 PM
CLI-42 LGY
CLI-42 C

Please compare your nozzle check to the example below. Does your nozzle check match the example?

Good morning.

Download and print the test image from this site. Just open the image in your photo software and print it. Don't make any adjustments.

How does the print look?

That's great. I have found that any evaluation of correct colors when printing needs a standard test print of some sort.

Blue is apparently a difficult color for printing.
