Same inks, same colour profiles (the epsom ones, but these have produced acceptable results on the fuji and hahnemuhle previous to this problem, although I agree about custom paper profiles), same papers. Same software - I usually print via PS7, and have done so with this test as well. Images processed with Lightroom 1.3 and 1.4.1 show the same problem (those from the older version have printed without a problem previously, and to test the problem I used the original converted TIFF, not reconverted from RAW). Nozzle check pattern is fine.
My first thought was a colour management problem too, but I have reproduced things as exactly as I can to the previously problem free set up (same ink, paper, profile, rendering intent, same file, same software) and the problem persists. I'll double check the colour management - I just cant see what/how things have changed to cause this.
