Epson stylus photo 950 - poor colour

[paynedave]

I am seriously disappointed with the colour fidelity of photos using the
950. I use Epson paper and inks. Photos are taken with a Nikon 990. There is
a lack of yellow/green or too much red/magenta.

The replaced stylus color 600 gave much truer results.

What's the problem, please?

Epson went through the whole gamut of paper choice, ink choice, nozzle
check, but gave no hint that there could be anything fundamentally wrong. It
seems to me, however, that at the default setting, the ink is just not being
delivered in the correct ratios

So are you using Epson inks? Have you run a nozzle check? Calibrated your
monitor so you are seeing the image correctly?

Details of what exactly you have done or tried would be helpful.

I use Epson paper and inks, and have carried out nozzle checks. I haven't
calibrated the monitor - not sure how to do that? - but there is a very
obvious bluish/magenta cast to the prints.
