I noticed that prints that should be showing blue skies are now really changed to violets skies.
Would it perhaps be useful to re-install EPSON Pro 3880-software and in doing so start from new?

I tried all I know to get back blue colors but to no avail.
Thanks for your help!
Harry

Are you comparing prints you did a while ago with reprints you did recently - now with a change of the skies from blue to violet ? How does the nozzle check look like ? Are you using icm-color profiles ? Did you change anything recently - a new refill - another paper - other driver settings e.g. color correction instead of ICM on ? I would not assume a driver problem at this time yet. Which system and software are you using - Apple/Win - PS for printing ? Any recent updates on these ?

Dag Harry,

Which profiles are you using and and if self-made: which device are you using for your profiles, both for screen and paper/ink combination ?

Lau: I am using the profiles that come with Tecco paper like TC_SP3880_PL285_2880_301109_2 and my screen is handel by X-rite

Hi Harry,

I presume you use original Epson ink or something else ? Maybe you should produce a custom profile for your ink/paper combination. I think this should correct the strange violet skies of your print.
