If it's suffering of starvation it doesn't matter if it's full or not. Electrical damage shows some defined partial printing leving some blank areas.

It looks like ink starvation!

Knowing that this HP ink works relatively good and no photo black is available an idea came to my mind. How about mixing C, M and Y to get the black?. To achieve a deeper black adding up a little Photo Black whether it is 3rd party or OEM. Also using an OEM Canon PBK cart is an option.

Thanks for your comments! I have a printhead that will allow me to do the test with mixed ink. I have an old Epson ND inkset. Prints made with this ink don´t turn the black brown on Canon Plus Glossy II, as with other well known Canon USA seller compatible ink. I will make the test in the next...

I have seen this behavior with Kirkland Paper and other cheap brand. What paper are you printing on?

@The Hat I am using this forum member ink from Canada (no problem with this ink). However I had another ink I used to get for years without any trouble, which is the one I think caused the trouble. In the printheads I used this is where I have seen the fuzzines. The sponge was wet, the...
