printer problem

Willbo · 6 May 2006 at 22:48

hey again everyone. last couple of times ive tried printing with my r300 on cd's the colours have come out more blue than anything.

the image im trying to print is a yellowy/orange shade, yet it comes out a mixture of blues.
the epson monitor says all my cartridges are more than half full and ive even put the cartridges in recently without using them much so i know theyre not empty. any ideas to what is causing this? is my printer on its way out or has a setting been changed i dont know about.....

what kind of prices are the cartridges for canon printers though? i've only stuck with epson because of getting replica cartridges for couple of quid.

if i was to change, is there a decent canon you could recommended which is either all in one including cd printing, or a standard printer with cd printing?

well i've tried nozzle checks, cleaning....everything....and the nozzle check pattern has since got more breaks and gaps in. so i dont know what is wrong.

turned on icm and tried other settings and the only ink printing is like a blue.

but since reinstalling that cartridges this morning, the epson monitor is now telling me (12 hours later) that the yellow and magenta ink is low. would this be the cause?

yea i've tried printing off the image for the cd on a full page sheet of a4 instead and it still came out all blue. it might just be that the yellow ink is low, its cheap enough. so will try ordering one i think and find out from there. not sure which printer to go for next though as the epson all in one with cd printing is what id love but just to expensive.
