Epson R2880 printer color management issues

9 years 6 months ago #408023 by John Ledder
I bought this printer earlier this year from a private party.  It worked just fine when I picked it up.  However what I have noticed is if you leave it alone for much more than a week.  When you print something the color tones are really off in left field.  Skin tones for example are darker, skies seem to be heavily saturated, etc.  

I have replaced the ink twice and not sure what else it could be.

Have you had the printer professionally cleaned?

Have you replaced the ink with Epson ink? Have you profiled the printer? Have you calibrated your monitor? Do you allow photoshop to adjust color instead of the printer? Etc.....

Why so serious?

:goodpost:   I was going to say the same thing.  Using generic ink can make a mess of your printer.
