Hello,

I bought a Canon i450 in September and I love it!

Recently, I bought some oem cartridges to replace the first batch.
They work exactly as the originals, but there is one problem.
When I print black and white shots at high resolution, they have a green tint to them. It's not as noticeable at "normal" resolution.
The tint is present on plain paper and canon photo pro paper, mainly at the high resolution.
I even used to notice this with the original cartridges, but maybe not quite as much.

Is there any way to fix this? Is this a probem with this particular type of printer. It works perfectly in every other way though.

BTW, I embed my pics with sRGB, and use Qimage to print.

Thanks in advance
:)

PS. Just noticed the pp and printer forum. I will post this there too (I would have posted there instead. Sorry for the double).

After doing some research, I discovered that my monitor profile needed tweaking (ala adobe gamma).

All is great now!

I found this page to be great!
