Hi,

I need to pick your brains.

I have a HP Z2100 44". I use Adobe CS2 to send items to print. It was fine fo the last year. A couple of days ago it starting printing the wrong colours and i'm sure it is some profiles issue.
I have printed diagnostic image and all colours look great, as they should be - the printheads are relatively new so this is not an issue.

I send a pink image to print and it is coming out orange. I send red and colours are different.

I have always used the same settings:

• Working sRGB (also tried Adobe RGB(1998))
• Working CMYK
• Policies: convert to working RGB/CMYK/Grey
• Intent: Perpetual (but tried others)

So when image loads it gives the options to convert, no colour management ect. I convert to working RGB.

Printer settings: Application manage colours

I am using Windows 7 64bit.

I have tried:

• Uninstalling all HP software and drivers and re-installing
• Installed CorelDraw, same results
• Sent to print from 2 other computers
• Updated FirmWare
• Updated Driver

I tried different papers: Fine arts materials --> canvas; Proofing paper --> HP SG Proofing Paper and just get different shades.

When I sent to pritn in Adobe RGB (1998) its a grey/brown type of orange.

This is the actual image: http://89.238.162.229/alt/londonpink.jpg
This is printed: http://89.238.162.229/alt/DSC00319.JPG

First colour profile applied is sRGB, second Adobe RGB.

Its pink damn printer, not orange!!



ANY ADVICE WOULD BE AMAZING....?
