Blue casts in borders of paper

<p>I had my students make printing profiles with the Colormunki software, but whenever they go to use the profiles from Photoshop to actually print images they are getting this strange blue cast on the borders of the paper. What is really strange is that there is not any information in these areas and there shouldn't be anything printing there at all. I've made a mock up here (http://i42.tinypic.com/new07k.jpg) of what I mean. It also is not affecting the whites in the actual image, just of the paper on the borders. We tried making three different profiles on two different kinds of paper and it still did it. We are printing using an Epson R2400. Any suggestions?</p>

<p>Are you using Mac computers running Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion? If so there are icc profile conflicts that prevent some generation profiles to function correctly. All to do with icc version standards, the X-Rite site has details on how to generate compatible profiles, they need to be v2 versions not the more modern v4 standard.</p>

<p>Scott have a good answer.. in the meantime, try using the color profile from epson.. if you use epson paper and ink on a 2400 you should get pretty good result in color and bw... but i remember 1 profile gave me that problem and it was custom made also...</p>
