Default c88 printer printing all of the colors incorrectly

So i have no idea what happened.. My first three prints came out perfect. All the colors were exactly what they were so posed be.
Now all prints come out like a Man Ray photo:

which can be a cool effect at times, but it's really not what i want to be wasting my ink on..
I'm using sawgrass inks..
All the colors print in the wrong places like sometimes black is yellow and green is red. etc.
Sometimes only one colors prints.. Or another color is completely missing. Man it's a mess and very frustrating to deal with.

I've tried changing my printer profile settings, but nothing seems to do the trick. I'm pretty sure everything is fine with my printer because everything was working out perfectly in the beginning.

I cannot use the Epson C88 Power Driver IQ disk that came with my equipment because i'm using a Mac and .exe is not supported on here unless of course i use an OS simulator like Bootcamp or something..

Anyways i really need some help. I can't keep testing out what works and what doesn't because this ink is really expensive.

How is your nozzle ck?

Have you contacted Sawgrass for tech support?

If not call them ASAP this morning.

i called sawgrass.
found out the problem was because i was printing through my mac and the epson driver and not through windows and the epson power driver.

looks like i'm going to need to buy another bag of black ink since i wasted half of it testing out my colors...
