Pro9000 Prints with Heavy Blue Cast

SilverSurfer122

Hello all!

 

I have several Canon Pro9000 and Pro9000 Mark II printers. The Pro9000 Mark II printers are doing great. However, the Pro9000 printer is printing photos with a heavy blue cast to them. The blue is so heavy and so bad that any photo printed with it is destroyed.

 

I have tried printing both from Photoshop and from other programs, including straight from Window's photo viewer. When printing from Photoshop, I have tried both letting Photoshop manage colors and the printer manage colors. When Photoshop is managing colors, I've turn color management off for the printer (set it to None). I've made sure I have the proper paper selected, etc. It does not matter what I do, the Pro9000 still prints with a heavy blue cast.

 

I've tried switching from Auto to Manual in an attempt to reduce the blue. But even if I have the first slider (labeled Cyan) slid all the way to the red side and the third slider (labeled Yellow) slid all the way over to yellow, I am still getting a heavy blue, but now the images are too red and too yellow, etc.

 

What can I do to figure out what is going on with this printer? It used to print properly, so I am not sure what changed. Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Thank you.

 

PS - I am running Windows 8.1, 64-bit.

Am I to understand, two different printers?  Several computers?  Plus any software doesn't matter?  Smiley Frustrated

 

 You do know how impossibile this is?

 

 You have a bad supply of ink.  Are you using genuine Canon ink?  Or, I am back to my first thought, the print heads have failed.

Are you choosing paper profile. Maybe picking Mark II profile in error?
