Hi

I have an Epson R1800 printer and am having loads of problems with it. When I bought it I purchased PowerRip X from Iproof so I could print directly from Quark - Mac (colour management off) but colours never seemed remotely true whatever settings I tried, even pure magenta came out as purple. I have also tried PrintFab which is a bit better but gives me a liney print. Whatever method I use either direct or via a rip I just seem to end up with a magenta or cyan cast. I don't need spot on colours but at the moment grey looks like purple. Does anyone have any ideas please? I didn't have these problems with my Epson 1290.

Failing that could anyone suggest an A3+ printer for printing rough proofs to show clients. The majority of printer seem targeted at photographers with 8+ colours. Anyone tried the Canon Pixma i4000?

Thanks for your help
