My Epson R1900 printer started adding a blue-green tint to my prints. I printed a few snow photos on matt paper and white snow showed blue tone where it should be pure white. When using gloss paper tint is more greentone on white plus on other colors. I've already used a full set of ink doing cleanings, alignments, nozzle checks, etc. Prints were fine a few weeks ago. Printer used a few times a month - about 10-20 prints. Unit turned off when not in use. Maybe there's a way to re-calibrate? HELP! Used off brand ink but ink is okay as earlier prints were fine using same ink (Epson too expensive). THANX
Epson doesn't like Generic Cartridges.
Hello, In Purchasing Epson's CX 5400, CX4600, & CX7400 and more, I found out that Epson does not like Generic Printer Cartridges. That sounds like your problem. Also in Purchasing the Brother's . Color that should be Yellow, will turn out Green, etc. These printers have a chip, that will detect if it is Generic or Genunie. When using Generic Cartridges, it will print lines thru the words, stripes across the picture and also do a mix match with the colors.
That's what these Companies do., so they can keep selling the ink cartridges. Some Printers, are able to use Generic, but you have to fill them up yourself and I heard, quite MESSY.
So I learned, thru trial and error, that you must use the ORIGINAL Genuine Cartridges for these PRINTERS. I had to replace the printer, but Epson, Lexmark & Brothers are always on sale. My Brother & Epson cost me $50.00 with Rebate. Don’t waste too much ink in cleaning it.
This is the only advice I can give you. If you find this helpful, pls rate me.
Thanks and Good Luck :0)
I'm having this exact same problem and am NOT using generic cartridges, so that's no solution for me, unforunately
