Can't figure out why I'm getting magenta casts to my prints from Lightroom 3 to my 9500 MKII printer. I got the cast on Canon Glossy II paper letting the printer control the color management ( a tried and true combo for me) and also when I tried to print on Moab Entrada rag using that specific profile. Very strong cast, almost purple on the Moab paper.

Any ideas?

Letting the printer control CM will only work if you're using OEM papers, so the MOAB will probably never match.

The Canon paper: Was anything changed? Are the ink tanks full? Did you do a nozzle check?

thanks for your help ... I wasn't clear about the profiles, I was using the Moab profiles to print on the Moab paper.

Anyways thanks for the nozzle utilities reminder ... the yellow nozzle was clogged and the cyan nozzle took the deep cleaning utility to clear it. Magenta is on the opposite side of the color wheel so lack of cyan and yellow makes magenta.

thanks for your help Rene
