Okay, I've been calibrating my computer with a Color Munki and calibrate my Epson 1400 printer with the same. However, I have been getting green prints. I'm looking for help, Xrite says they think it's a bad printer but I have two doing the same thing. I'm printing from lightroom or photoshop, windows 7 x64, using lightroom or photoshop controlled color management with color management turned off in the epson print driver. I've even put in new magenta cartidges in the printer. I only use epson inks and papers, so thought?

    Green prints usually indicates the profile for the printer isn’t being applied. What version of Photoshop do you have? If CS4 or earlier, you can use Convert to Profile with the printer profile, then print as you do now, what happens?

    It's CS5. The profiles I make with the color muki are selectable in both PS and LR, plus Xrite had me try the factory profiles, which actually print a little better.

    Only a little better?

    You did a nozzle check right?
