I have replaced both cyan cartridges and the black cartridge, done several cleanings and deep cleanings, several print head alignments, yet all tests still print like this:

There is actually *no* difference between any of the tests, before and after cleanings, before and after new cartridges. Not even a little bit of improvement.
Do you have any suggestions?
I took the whole cartridge contraption out of the printer and uh, wiped it clean with a paper towel (probably not the recommended method). I gently swiped it across each little vertical nozzle where the ink comes out. Still, not even a tiny bit of change (bad or good).
I still use the printer for printing text documents, but it's useless for printing photos or graphics, unless I want horizontal bands across the page.
