I just purchased the Epson sp1400 printer wanting to print some larger formats. Very eager to see how this printer would perform I printed some test photos. 3 prints later I noticed I had already used 1/4 the ink on 3 colors. So I had looked at refillable carts before purchase but only knew that it was possible. The only place that I thought to buy them was ebay. So I bought a set of prefilled for around $26 shipped and thought if this works ill buy the ink and refill them. Now when the ink came in I switched the cartridges and printed a test page. After I printed the test page I noticed that the black and white portion had a dark navy blue hint to it. Now my understanding is that this is caused when printing on photo paper the printer uses the color inks to make black. (this is just what I heard)
Now under further research everyone talks about profiles and such. Now I know I'm probably asking a question that is already answered on here but I don't know what to search for the answer. I'm guessing my printer profiles are wrong... If anyone could help guide me in the right direction on how to fix this problem you help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
