when your printer is working but the colors are not the expectedcolors probably one of the color print-head is clogged or defective the printers produce colors using cyan magenta and yellow the key primary colors, and black
epson all in one color laser printer, each dot is either made up of one ofthese basic colors or intentionally left blank if one of these colors is absent or defective the colors in your print will be wrong
remember, grey is obtained with color cartridges not using the black cartridge print a test page to identify which is the defective color print-head if all nozzles are present the problem is ink contamination between colors ink contamination usually occurs when one or more colors have been overfilled it can happen even if overfilling was not obvious
the overfilled color forms a small ink drop on the printhead the sponges containing the other colors wick the overfilled color up into their chambers this causes the overfilled color to combine with, and contaminate other colors in this case you can only try to wash the sponge with water check ink levels if one of the cartridges is low, that maybe the problem remember, the color generated on the printed page
is dependent on the particular printer model not by the colors shown on the screen reproducing color viewed on a monitor to exactly match printer output is verydifficult
