You may have the yellow sucking up some red.

Bad caps, and/or big difference in red and yellow cartridge ink levels are a couple of reasons for this.

Do a medium clean, or print some big squares of yellow. 4' x 4'... You have to use up the ink in the head, damper and line. Hopefully it has not reached your cartridge.

The sponges can swell up on the caps, causing them to touch the head and bleed ink out which can be drawn into the yellow channel.

cartridge

The cartridge ink looks mustard, its possible contamination in the cartdrige?

How can you seethe ink in the cartridge?

If you make a square in your graphics program and use CMYK and only C=0 M= O Y= 100 K= 0 what colour prints?

I did this this week with mine and it is clearly yellow, with no hint of mustard or red etc...

Are you using Roland inks?

I talking of the clear box where the ink is located. In the yellow ink box looks mustard. I purchase the sp300v used week ago with the inks!

I will have to look at my SP540V. I have not seen a clear box where I can see the colours.

So the next thing is to check the colour you are printing like I suggested above and see if you
print yellow or mustard.

The Roland and Oracle color profiles suck for yellow...try and sample a different yellow .....
