I need help desperately, and by Wednesday!!!
The item I am using is a logo that is a "brick red" color, and automatically, my Canon Pixma ip3000 prints it brownish. When I used an imaging software and made the red more of a "candy apple" red, then it prints orange. It is skipping red altogether. I was trying to adjust the colors manually, but I don't know which ones I should be increasing or decreasing. Do I increase magenta or cyan and decrease yellow? I am basically getting no red and I have only had the printer for 3 months, and I have only printed maybe 20 documents on it. I have run the nozzle check and the print head cleaning, and everything checks out fine. Should I just try buying a new print head anyways? Or should I do some sort of soaking of the cartridges? I touch the bottom of each cartridge to a paper towel and they all "drip" their proper color. Someone on another site said the red must be there if I am able to get brown and orange. I just don't know what to do.
What could it be????? I need this image for Wednesday.
Thanks in advance for all your help!
