imagePROGRAF iPF6100 Printed colors don't match monitor after calibration

[mustafaturgut]

I've been using a Canon IPF 6100 Pro for about 4 years.
I use Hahnemühle paper. I also make sure that the profiles I use are up-to-date. When I recalibrate my monitor, I also recalibrate the printer. I check the expiration dates of the inks I use in the printer one by one and don't put in ink with a near expiration date in my printer.

I've noticed that the calibration hasn't matched the last few times. Especially when printing black and white photos, I've observed that the blacks are mostly shifted towards green.
I recalibrated it again, but the print results still came out with a greenish tint. I've calibrated the printer several times, but the situation hasn't changed.

Now, to get the correct colors, especially when printing black and white, I have to go into the "Color Settings" section in the printer interface and adjust the color settings by adding Cyan -3 and Magenta +3. However, I have to remember this every time I print, sometimes I forget, and the print job is ruined.
I find it strange that this kind of problem occurs after color calibration.
I also find it particularly interesting that this kind of color shift occurs in a machine like this.

Has anyone encountered a similar situation? If so, what solution did you find? I would appreciate your opinions.

Thanks..

Has anything changed between when you had "good" B&W and the current problem? Have you used that paper before? 

Not a solution to your problem, but since you are using Windows you could save the adjustments you need as a preset in the driver and then recall when you are printing with that paper.

Mr. Hoffman, thank you for your reply and interest.

There's no difference between the times I previously got "good, accurate color" prints and my current conditions. The paper I use is the same, the ink is the same, and the computer I work with is the same. I've used this paper before and got accurate prints.

You wrote that "since you're using Windows, you can save the necessary settings as preset in the driver and recall them later when printing with that paper," but the print settings section doesn't save them. It resets every time or every time I change the paper. Therefore, I have to check it every time I print.

Perhaps your driver is different than my Pro-100 , but if I make adjustments and save them as a preset the are restored when I select that preset next time I print.

Saved preset as "Test"

Thank you, Sir.

Unfortunately, the driver specifications differ.
I can save my settings on my Pro-100. However, the Pro 6100 driver is different from the Pro-100 and other desktop printers.
