Ricoh 3100
Sawgrass Inks
Tru pix paper
Duraglaze mugs
Temp and times from 160 degrees 180 secs, right up to 240 secs 175 degrees in stages. All colour rendition the same..brown has strong green cast.
All stages in RGB, all settings as per recommended for ricoh, nozzle checks perfect.
All other colours fine, just brown!!
Anything I may have missed?

In Photoshop, have you checked Edit/ Color Settings? Years ago, my Photoshop took a silly turn and reset this page causing colours to shift.
Other than that, try reinstalling the profile.
I use Coreldraw....but have photoshop as well for other things. Hence good point I shall pop it in PS and see what happens.
Thought it was sorted....no!

Have you tried it with different paper and also different substrates to rule out those 2 things. also might sound daft but are the carts still in date?

Its worth a try got to rule out every possibility.
OK DyeSubSupplies you might be on to something.......I must have had a black cartridge sat at the bottom of the drawer, expired Jan 2017. So swap that out and flush through. Been in there a few months and no previous problem, and all other colours appear fine, however it could be a good call.

Sorted.
It would appear that an out of date cart can have a shift in its colour even though kept stored in a closed, cool, dark, fireproof cabinet. The colours were originally alright but I guess it reached the point of not good. Over 50% of the cart had been used.
That will teach me to watch my stock rotation!
Rather annoying as the colour in various lights would go from a very definite dark brown to a very obvious green. In the studio lights brown, packed the order and sent to customer, who sent me a photo from one of their benches outside the cafe where the mugs where green in the sun. So I printed another one here and went for a walk with it, very bizarre seeing it green / brown / green / brown depending on where I was!
Appears to be sorted now.
Cheers folks
