Question HP Latex 560 blacks have magenta/purple hue tint

[TheLenster]

I'm running prints using Onyx Thrive 18 and I have all profiles on. Images that have black or grayscale saturation are printing with a purple tint. I'm not sure if it's the printer ink or the onyx thrive software that is causing the issue. I'm new to latex printing and this issue is just one of many that I'm experiencing with this printer [HASHTAG]#hp560[/HASHTAG] . Any general thoughts and direction on what may be causing this would be helpful. I'm assuming that since I can't find any others discussing this problem via these forums or on the web, in general, it may be an issue somewhat exclusive to my machine/ process.

If re-calibration does not fix the problem then create a new output profile.

The reddish or pinkish tint is a common and known issue on HP Latex printers when you want to print in grayscale.

Check out the "Advanced Black Generation", GCR, and Grayscale Swatch sections of the Onyx online help. There are adjustments and profiling sections of how to alter the CMY and K ratios in making gray and black.

Great! I'll try that. Thanks.

This is unfortunate.
