Perhaps your colour ink levels are low, but only the yellow and magenta. Filling your own cartridges lets you just fill the colours that are low or out. Do you fill your own? If not you may have to replace colour one. Just to be sure, manually clean the printheads and the cartridge heads with solution and cotton buds (q tips). If it still does same, print test pattern to check it is definitely the same issue, and replace colour ink or refill.

What printer model are you referring to?

If you are referring to Brother DPC130c it is printer head problem because the cartridges of this printer are separate from its head so definitely it's the head of the printer.

after replacing the ink cartridges it took several cleans to come good. I have no idea how to "manually" clean the heads. So I told the printer to do it many (about 7) times. It eventually worked
