Question about HP LaserJet 2605DTN Color Printer

3 Answers

Weak color (reds only)

Anything red or reddish does not print very well. I guess you'd say its not saturated. All other colors are just fine. The magenta cartridge is brand new, HP (not aftermarket). The old cartridge leaked alot of powder (toner) in the innards of the printer. We've cleaned up as much as we can. There appear to be two optical sensors that talk to the cartridge. I've cleaned them as well, but it's not an easy task.

We've run the calibration and cleaning routines several times. We recently replaced the fuser (a lot of fun!) but the printing problems have only shown up in the last few weeks.

This sounds like one of your sensorr may have been corrupted by the toner spill and is not comunicating properly and might need cleaned sven more of replaced!

Sir,

Run the print head cleanings. Chances are that you haven't used the printer in a while and you have a clog. Also you need to clean your printer nozzles go to Start menu / Control Panel / Printers right click the printer and go to properties. It is in there somewhere usually under a maintenance tab but unfortunately all different printers have different software so you'll have to find the clean button yourself. (you may need to run through the clean a few times)

thanks
good luck

Poor print quality
Try printing a test page, which shows a sample of the colors in the ink cartridge individually, usually yellow, cyan and red. It may be that the blue ink is getting low. You did not say whether you were printing text (black) or photos (color).

With my d90 reds come out as orange how do i stop
My guess is that it's not the camera but it's your monitor calibration. Reds (especially brightly lit reds) are the most difficult to render on a monitor. I would try changing the Vivid color option on the camera as well as saturation and even the color space options to see if you get any variation. Also, consider looking into a monitor calibration utility. If you have a color printer, you can print an image that looks orange on your monitor to see if it prints the same way.

WHEN PRINTING THE COLOR IS VERY WEAK
You have to disassemble the printer and clean the prisms inside the black box within the printer. The prism for the red and yellow colors are near the bottom and face up, so they easily collect dust buildup, thereby causing weak or striped printing of these colors.

Epson R800 Red Color Problem
Actually magenta is the weakest compared to cyan and
yellow using even K3 inks. Now epson is releasing
K3 with vivid magenta ink. Using any color management
I have found it very difficult to reach a real red without
a lot of tweaking in my color profiles. Now it appears
that Epson sees the problem and is changing magenta
out for vivid magenta ink to solve the weak magenta.
