This photo, obviously taken at blue hour, looks just fine to me on screen after editing. However when printing on my Epson ET3850, it comes out noticeably blue.

  • Sony E 16-55mm F2.8 G
  • 24.0 mm
  • ƒ/4
  • 1/125 sec
  • ISO 160


White balance as shot, according to ON1, is 6317.
Do you all think I have a printer issue, or should I warm up the white balance in post?
In case you ask about printer nozzles, yes, I did a test print and it shows as normal.
Thoughts?
 
Please forgive the dumb question, but a problem I had when I started printing was letting both the printer driver AND the photo software apply adjustments - my first prints came out sickly green because of the “double management”. I also had to play games adding profiles that told the printer driver what paper I was using and what ink set and how to adjust appropriately.

Is it possible that you need to change the settings in the printing to something like “let the printer driver manage colour” ? (it has been some years since I last printed a photo at home - I don’t remember the names of the settings)

I made sure the right paper size and type (photo paper - glossy) were selected, but there isn't much faff with the drivers nowadays.
