Hi Mark, Well, that gives a new dimension to the issue. I would think then that it might be a good idea to change the cartridges and or printheads. Have you done the color calibration already? What I don't understand though is why for each print, it would print 3/4 with a red tint and then switch over to normal.

I should also point out that printing a normal color photo also has the same problem. The 1st 75% of the photo is too red, and then the last 25% is fairly normal. So it's not just a black and white thing. Should I try replacing the magenta cartridge, or a printhead or something? It seems the red is coming out too much when not needed, before correcting itself 75% through. Weird.
