I've been having issues for years with innacurate printouts, despite using a Colormunki to calibrate my printer and display, as well as frequent banding, followed by good prints, followed by banding, etc. Yesterday however, I said to myself i'd had enough. I took out the print head, gave it a good wash with soapy water, dried it overnight, and then installed all 6 brand new cartridges.
However, i'm getting purple printouts of everything, printing this - http://www.refills4you.com/support/print/color.jpg , gives a bar of purple/blue, and light purple, rather than 3 bars of red, yellow and blue.
What does this sound like? I purchased the yellow, magenta, and photo magenta from PC World the other day, and the black cartridge a month or so ago. The blue cartridges i've had spare (in the boxes of course) for i'm pretty sure no more than 6-8 months. Could the ink be the problem? Could I have damaged the print head when cleaning it?
