I started to get some lines in my prints... then some major banding. I started doing all this testing, refilling, fixing, but nothing worked!
I swapped out the old and put in a brand new cartridge... SAME EXACT PROBLEM.
Well, a closer look at my prints and realized... DUH... WRONG COLOR!!
I was fixing the wrong cartridge!
Now, to my defense, a nozzle print test showed ALL colors were fine. The problem didn't show up until I printed a full page of color. I guess it's just late and I had a long day. Oh well!
I'm sitting here telling myself "Okay, yellow and blue make green... blue and red make orange... okay, so what am I missing..."
Sheesh!
