Everytime I’m printing on gloss & satin photo paper that includes a design with a black background, it comes out blue. When I print the same exact design on normal paper, matte paper, gloss sticker paper it’s fine. It’s only when I’m printing on the roll sizes. I’ve done a print head clean, calibration, adjusted the black background in adobe illustrator to 100% k & nothings working.
