Sudden Magenta cast when printing from LR

I have been printing from LR forever with no problem but suddenly I am getting a Magenta colour cast which seems to have started only recently. I have not altered anything to cause this that I am aware of. I printed a colour test target from Permajet and the Grey's are the worst affected and skin colour also. Has anyone else had this experience and can shed some light? I print on Epson Photo R3000. I think this may have started after downloading the latest LR CC. 7.5

OK I have printed a BW image from  PS and also your test print and get the same result. I don't think I had this problem before I upgraded LR and PS recently, do you think the problem lies there? I have all new paper profiles from both Permajet and Fotospeed and have tried both papers with same result. I have calibrated my monitor 3 times in as many days and cleaned my printer heads twice and can't think of anything else I can do.


Cleaning fine, but you still need to carefully examine a nozzle check that ALL lines are clean.

Unless it's the profile. I can't comment on the quality of a canned paper profile. That may be the issue since you say that using Printer Manages Color is OK. Got other paper/profiles you can try?

Check to see that all the settings are to have LR manage color. What you describe can happen if the printer and LR both manage color.

Also, did you recently upgrade your operating system? If so, the printer driver might need its own update or upgrade. Check your printer maker's website to see if there is a new driver to match your operating system.

and then make sure that your settings are set to have LR manage the color and not the printer.

First, attempt a print using a Color Reference file like this one:

Use Lightroom Manages Color and select the correct ICC profile.

Magenta color cast?

    Thank   thedigitaldog you for the reference file which I have printed and still has the cast. I'm not sure how to let Lightroom Manage Colour, I have the correct profile selected in Lightroom Colour Management and Colour Management off in printer driver.

    Hi Denthenlens,

    As you're getting a magenta tint on the printed images, could you please have a look at this forum thread and let us know if it helps? Magenta cast to photos printed from LR or PS


    Regards,

    Thank you Sahil, I already checked out this thread but it doesn't apply as I run a PC not Mac and my drivers are up to date. Thanks for your help.
