Epson Artisan 1430 - Help

[HeldInTheMoment]

Ok guys, need some help here...

No matter what paper I use or settings I apply in the Driver Software the darks, especially the near black areas, have a blue hue to them. Even when I tell the Drive Black/Grey it still has a blue hue in some spaces. I even brought the Blue value in HSL to 0 (zero) before printing in B&W.

I have 100% sRGB monitor, calibrated with ColorData Spyder 5 Pro, shot and edited in sRGB.

Any ideas or help?

You're trying to print B&W with a color printer that has only one black ink. That ink is formulated to make color prints. It won't make a neutral color B&W print. To use that printer for B&W prints and get reasonable control over the color of the print you need to print your file as RGB and you need to calibrate the printer/paper combination so that you have an ICC profile to control the printer.
