Hi all,
I am turning to you ColorSync list experts because I'm stuck.
I sold my older Epson 9500 to a local friend and replaced it with a
newer one.
Since moving the printer, which we did according to the manual, the
9500 has not printed correctly.
It prints accurately, but at about half intensity. Black is, at most,
50% gray. Cyan is, at most, 50% cyan, etc.
When we print a diagnostic, like the ink head pattern chart, which
also prints text, the text is gray. So are all the ink patterns.
It's as if there is a curve set to 50% being applied to everything
that prints.
I have been trying to help my friend to get the printer working
correctly, as it printed perfectly here before we moved it across town.
I have cleaned the heads numerous times. I have replaced all six
cartridges with new ink. I have printed huge 100% CMYK files to flush
the "old" ink out of the printer, and it doesn't get better.
I have downloaded and read the entire service manual, and I can't find
any adjustments, settings or changes that make any sense.
The only service warning I get from the machine is the one that says
the waste ink pads should be replaced soon.
Does anyone have an idea where I might turn next to get this thing
working?
Thank you,
Brian P. Lawler
