When printing B&W (or any printing needing Black ink) I am getting quality issues.
I was previously using the OEM cartridge that came with the printer (never fiddled with it) and this started happening. So, replaced it with an after market Color and Black cartridge (The color had become quite low, but the Black in the OEM was almost 70% full).
Problem did not resolve. Have tried re-installing the cartridges many times and cleaning the head of the black cartridge (rubbing it on tissue paper) - no change at all.
Have deep cleaned the printer head using the printer's button almost 5 times. Don't think there is any way to remove the head to do a manual clean for this model.
Would hate to throw this into landfill - working brilliantly in every other way. Any hints/tips on how to fix this?
