Epson D120 colour problem

[Dawn]

I have an epson D120 with artainium inks and print through Adobe CS3, but seem to have a problem with blue prints!
It shows up on the screen as royal blue, prints out in near black and presses in navy blue.
Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?
I've checked the heads and the nozzel check is fine.

Any help or advice greatly appreciated.

Hi Paul,

I think you're right about the colour pallet on the D120! All the other colours seem fine, I just can't get royal blue only navy
I did have an epson 1400 awhile ago and never had a problem with the colours.
Thanks for your help.

What temp/ time are you pressing for? Too hot for too long can darken the image.
Possibly increase brightness by up to 20-25% in photoshop to compensate for the colours.
