Hello all Fellow screen print artists of the western world !!
I am using an Epson 7880 plotter to produce film positives for screen printing. This one's running a conversion kit with 4 out of 8 slots with a cleaning fluid that cancels color inks so it only runs black. My ink opacity suddenly decreased to a greenish clear black. Any ideas ?

My guess would be that it is drawing from the cleaning carts as well as the black. I assume there is some sort of "RIP" or printer driver that is supposed to stop that from happening? Maybe someone accidentally switched to the normal driver.

All the inkjet printers I've owned have a designation on the print menu to select print with black cartridge only. Does your plotter have this on the menu? If so, make sure it's checked.

THANKS for your prompt suggestion, well this Epson's says in the printer dialog box "Accurip to Epson" (the other option says Epson Stylus 7880) so I am not sure if that would be the setting
