Checking the ink levels for every color. How does printing from your system's drive affect the process?
They're all full, or almost so.
The same goes for me. I printed that page to see what was causing the other prints to look wrong.
It seems cyan and black are missing or very limited. Could the print heads be blocked? Did the printer sit idle for a while?
If that were accurate, those regions would indeed appear white.
I've examined the sample page and it appears the cyan section isn't pure cyan—it blends with magenta. This explains why it prints as a faint magenta. The dark blue zones, such as the border scales, also contain varying amounts of cyan and magenta with different saturation levels and a hint of black, resulting in another muted magenta shade.
As mentioned before, black is also missing from the printout. The "Black" in the "Black Background" section appears as a medium grey tone. Without black ink, it shows up as another color with a hint of yellow.
Regarding white, the "Blank Background" at the top of your print looks almost identical to the paper outside the print area.
But why does the black appear orange rather than being invisible? Your argument suggests that all colors contain some magenta and yellow, even when printed in black and white. I’m also puzzled about how adding a bit of magenta to blue achieves such vivid saturation. It really feels odd.
