Pink colour cast when printing from iphoto

When I try printing from iPhoto to a Canon MG6150 I get a pink colour cast. The preview shows correct colour and I'm running out of paper with my attempts to sort it!

What has gone wrong as everything else seems fine?

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Do you get the same results if you print the same photos from Preview? If not then it's definitely an iPhoto issue. If you get the same it's possibly more of a system issue or printer adjustment.


Check the Color Options (Printer) and Color Matching (iPhoto) settings in the print window. You might try tweeking some of them.

Your print window should have something similar.

Just tried a bit more trouble shooting and have the same problem if I try printing direct from a memory card.

This says to me it's a printer problem. Despite what it says I'm going to go for a "deep cleaning' of the nozzles/head. The ink cartridges are all virtually full.


Eureka! after some time it seems that the cyan cartridge had blocked.

Printed OK from iPhoto so mightily relieved.

I guess just because I was using iPhoto when it happened will teach me to go and check everything and not assume!



Thanks for the suggestions .
