Getting Fingers Dirty
I have been having some difficulties with my Pixma 3000 .
I bought it about 4 months ago and initially it worked perfectly.
The first problems appeared lately.
Colour photo prints were being printed with too much magenta ink ,giving everything a red tint.
I changed the ink cartridges (Phoenix);I had about 6 sets with no probs; but the problem still lingered.
After deep cleaning I was able to get about 5-6 good prints before the problem reappeared.
I have also had yellowish tinted prints and greenish tints too.
I have the correct drivers installed and I have switched cartridges to Smart Jet but I still cant resolve the problem.
I am using high quality paper ,matt glossy 128g and when the printer works the quality is very good .
I am baffled at this stage as to what may be the problem.
It seems the 3 colour inks,magenta,cyan and yellow are not being mixed correctly.
The black is fine.
Does anyone have any ideas ?
Cheers
