Hi @Oktoberfest  This could be related to the printhead that is warming up when prints the first inch, so I will suggest you printing a diagnostic image before anything else and check if all colors print fine also check the usage and expiration dates of the printheads, if everything is fine then save one of your files to pdf and print it to check if the same happens.

Hi Oktoberfest,

 

maybe we have the same issue. In my case the gloss/grey printhead.
