Ive recently revived my Canon Pro-1 thanks to Printerknowledge and a few very very clued up guys...
Question is, the printer is working, i use an iMac Pro and have never gone down the route of calibrating my monitor, when i print im letting the pro-1 driver to do its magic with the colour.

Thanks for your reply, im following everything you say, but the one thing that did the business was a system clean on the PBK ink bank...
