Eek
I get green shadows when i print my photos.The original photo looks fine on the screen,so i dont think there is aproblem with the original,and the rest of the photo is fine,but the areas which should be light to dark brown are greeny-yellow.
I have an epson R1800 printer,and am using photoshop for colour management(printer colour management off).The clour profile is of the original photo(embedded)-sRGB,printer profile-SPR R1800 prmglssy.icc,rendering-perceptual.
I have cleaned the printheads,am using printrite ink.

Any ideas?Is it the ink?

I tried replacing the yellow cartridge,just in case that was leaking or something,but made no difference.Maybe its the red/magenta not overlaying the green??I'm trying to avoid changing all of the 8 cartridges...

Sadly what you see on screen is often not what you get in print, matching the two can be tricky. A few thoughts, check you have the latest drivers for the printer, check your moniter colours are right (the printer might just be printing the right colours, but your viewing the wrong colours, worth checking) then check your using the proper ink cartridges and paper settings, refilled cartridges can vary.

Well,i changed all my cartridges,tried all different types of settings,but when i get to preview the print in the epson dialogue-there are yellow/green patches.The only thing i can do to get around this is to adjust the photos in photoshop,save them and then print them with epson easy photo print.Then i dont get the green.Pity i cant print from photoshop though

When printing from Photoshop on this image you are having problems with; what color MODE are you working on? RGB, CMYK, or, LAB? Also are you using Epson brand paper when you are printing to get the best quality? There are speific chemicals embeded within the papers of major printer companies like Cannon, HP and Epson to allow you to acheive the best print output on their product. Each printing company has their own different chemical combonations to match their own printers to their printing papers.

i am in rgb and have the epson photopaper.When i use epson's easy photo print,the colours come out right,and its not the particular photo that i have problems with,its any photo with a significant amount of brown,which,printing from photoshop comes out green.If i preview the photo in the epson printer dialogue you can also see its going to come out green.The problem is,what i see on my screen in photoshop is quite different to what appears when epson tells me its going to print out in its preview
I have epson's icc profiles for glossy/matte paper etc,the monitor is calibrated,i have changed all the ink cartridges(unneccessarily),i have cleaned the print heads etc
