I just started having a problem with my blue ink smudging on my printouts. All the other colors are fine, but any color involving the blue ink has smudging issues. The smudging isn't consistent. If I print the same page twice, the smudging occurs on difference parts of the page. Other parts printed in blue aren't smudged.

I have refilling CLI8 original Canon cartridges with the German method on a Canon MP530 printer for over 6 months with no previous problems. I have cleaned the cartridges with the Canon software and aligned the print head. The nozzle check appears to be fine.

Any suggestions?
