PIXMA ip8720 blacks printing weird purple

[vbonini]

Been having this problem where large areas of black print a weird kind of reverse fade into purple. Changed all cartridges levels good. Ran all alignment and cleaning available in utility. Attached example on 4x6. Please help.

1. did you run a nozzle check after cleaning?

2. what settings and paper are you using? What software are you printing from?

[vbonini]

1. Yes Ran a nozzle check. It was clear

2. Glossy paper. Printing from Mac OS Preview. Have printed from preview for 3+ years with this printer.

Were you able to print same image previously without problem?

Does Preview allow you to select media types and ICC profiles?

[vbonini]

Yes, for several years I have printer a variety of photos portraits, landscapes, outer space. Lots of pictures with large areas of deep colors and black. 

Media types. for example "Glossy photo paper" Yes.

Internet search returns ICC profile is listed in "soft proof with profile option" I can't find it in the software.
