I have Canon Pixma MP 760, and have been using non OEM cartridges with the rainbow on their packages.
No special profiles. Does not matter what I have tried, there always was too much green.
Few days ago my cyan ink run out, so it was replaced with canon used cartridge that I saved for special occasions.
All prints looked suprisingly good. Grayscale was also very good. Now, Im back to cyan rainbow type cartridge with old problems, green colorcast. Could someone suggest other only cyan non canon cartridge to try? Im looking for not scientific method to solve my problem

Since you are pleased with the results of the Canon Cyan together with your "rainbow" cartridges, it would seem appropriate to obtain a non-OEM cartridge which closely matches Canon cyan ink. Other members have reported excellent results with both G&G cartridges and hobbycolors. There are others of course, and it may well be worth looking through some of the previous posts. But the general advice would be to go for a printer specifically formulated ink, and steer clear of the commonplace universal inks. This is because different printers (manufacturers and models) work slightly differently, and this is why manufacturers ink is specially optimised to work specifically with their printers. I am unfamiliar with the non-OEM cartridges that you mention. Can you provide any further information as to their identity, ie. brand name, where purchased? As a final point, it is feasable that inks from different sources (manufacturers) can fail to work well together due to variations in ingredients used in their formulation, so there may be some degree of trial and error before you find an ink that really produces the results that you seek.
