Please forgive if I am asking something that was already answered. If that's the case drop me a link.
I had this printer for a very long time now and I love it, but recently I started having problems. The colors are all wrong. Reds look almost like 100% magenta, and greys come out looking light brownish or like cofee with milk. I constantly get gaps in my black printouts. I cleaned the heads many times but that didn't help. I finally bought a cleaning cartridge from printpal and that solved the print head issue, but the colors are still messed up.
I used to buy my cartriges from Printpal, and now I buy them from Megatoners. Are there any better options for me out there? Please don't mention original canon cartridges - I am a cheap bastard. Would it be better for me to refill or buy new cartriges? Are there any good guides to disassembling and cleaning my printer? Thanks very much.
