What would the screen have to do with a color cast on the printed sheet? I don’t think the monitor communicates with the printer.


Color management incorporates the input device ie. Camera, viewing device ie. monitor and output device ie. printer.

Perhaps the following is the issue, not sure, not enough info...:
Check print settings. Is printing for color / BW set to auto? If system is misinterpreting, BW will be printed (mixed) from your color cartridges. Force BW manually then your black cartridge is used and you should not get a tint.


I'm certain that is the correct solution.

I have always had the setting set to BW. Still get green.

Yes, screen is calibrated. I just printed 1 thing that came out perfect and the 2nd print had a green tint. Isn't there someone who has a great solution to this conundrum?

Got the ink, printed a test sheet...still no luck trying to find one on the test sheet that was true BW.

For settings in Canon Print Studio, what should I set the strength at - soft, standard, media hard tone, hard tone or strong hard tone?

And what custom tone...I am trying to set it away from green.

Rather then that approach, I suggest you choose pattern print. It prints a number of thumbnails and shows the settings that produced the image.
