Are you sure that you injected the correct colours into the appropriate holes? Sounds like you injected ink into the wrong chamber.

that was the first thing i checked i put a tooth pick in each chamber before i filled them they are correct yellow top center magenta bottom left cyan bottom right i just checked again they are correct you can print a pink balloon it prints yellow you print a yellow balloon its pink you print a test sheet its perfect every colour pure if i mixed the colors wouldn't they appear discoloured like yellow mixed with red would print orange why can i print perfect red objects like a red balloon perfect red and why a perfect yellow from bright pink object would it not print a dirty orange if i mixed the colours
