Warm black and white prints from sc9000

[Printer036]

Hi everyone

This is my first post in the forum. I have been trying to print with a Epson sc p9000 (llk) on hahnemuhle photo lustur 260 gsm paper. With the given hahnemuhle profile, the prints are coming significantly warm. They are not true black and white.

Anyone has any idea why so? Any leads would be helpful.

- Are you using this paper with a profile the first time ? Do you have similar problems with other paper/profile combinations ? I think you should contact Hahnemühle for a comment/support since they have created the profile for their paper on your particular printer model.

I always use with paper profile... I never had a problem with the 7900 that I have... My p9000 is new, and this is the first time I'm using this.

Yes, but are you still using the same profile from the 7900 on your new p9000 ?...

Definitely not... I'm using the hahnemuhle lustur paper profile for the p9000

I'm not familiar with the driver settings of the P9000 vs. the 7900 - how you activate a profile , or if you have an 'Advanced B/W Printing mode' option available (depending on the paper selection) which would allow you to adjust the hue of the blacks from warm to cold. Or you may have the profile active via the driver and the software you are using to print - some hidden double profiling - these are just some thoughts to go for.
