Thanks guys, right you were! All ok with my 4000, now I've still got a bum 5000. Color won't print, (after much head cleaning) black prints wavy lines which fade in and out. Any ideas? New printhead? or is it electrical? Thanks, Reg

Ip 4300. Refilled tanks, but it doesnt look like cross-contamination. I suspect this is a color management problem, but I don't know where to start. All the articles seem endlessly complicated. Suggestions??
