Hello Stefan.

No, my settings were sRGB (default), and haven't been changed to Apple RGB.

Yes, installed a new PrintFab, but only AFTER the problem started.

Yes, put new ink cartridges in the Canon, but only used proper Canon cartridges. Also, making a PDF file in QXpress and running it straight ...

Hello.

Since I posted the above, I have tried some remedies, without success.

a) I switched USB ports on the iMac.
