    I'm having trouble printing B&W images. Specifically, midtones seems flat and pixelated. The file I am printing is a 16bit .psd file (300dpi). Printer has correct paper profile installed. Print settings are as follows:

    Color Handling: Photoshop Manages Colors
    Rendering Intent: Perceptual
    Send 16-bit Data: checked
    Color Options/Mode: Grayscale
    Quality: Best
    Maximum Detail: checked
    More Passes: checked


    Any help would be appreciated. A sample containing part of the image file vs the scanned print can be found here:

    Thanks in advance!

    Looks like the problem was the Grey/Gloss Enhancer printhead. Replaced and working fine.
