I've resolved the problem and I feel such an idiot!
I bought some more ink cartridges of a different brand (I have always used compatibles) and the print was fine. I decided to change back to the previous ones to see if the problem returned. Whilst doing so I noticed that the yellow ink was empty!!!!!!!!
The printer gave no indication that the yellow ink had run out and the label on the cartridge is huge and hid the empty portion. I don't know why there was no indication of low ink, perhaps a dodgy connection to the pub on the cartridge, but I'll keep a close eye on it.
It now makes sense that the colour changes I made in Gimp were not reflected in the printed output. No matter how yellow I made the image the printer couldn't display it without any ink!
Thank you all for your assistance. I will try to remember to check the basics in future.
