I have the Dell 720 printer, and all of a sudden, it won't print any black! When I print the test page in color, the colors are predominantly red for some reason, and when I print the test page in black and white, there's a blank page even though the ribbon and cartridges move as they normally should. (My ink levels are fine and I have even switched cartridges.)
-   I have just had both ink cartridges refilled put them back in printer and now Black ink won't print at all- Colour ink absolutley fine-   christoph830

-   I also have a Dell 720. I bought new cartirdges and still it doesnt seem to print correctly. All the "blue's" come out in pink. Ive tried cleaning the nozzles, etc. but still doesnt work, and the black is very faded.
I had same problem after refilling a cartridge, tried wiping head with damp cloth...kinda worked. I finally put my mouth over the refill hole and blew gently into it to create some pressure to unclog the cartridge. This worked very well for about a week. Then the problem recurred and I haven't had any luck getting black to print either.

Hello, I just changed my color cartridge, and now it won't print black. Even if I put in my preferences to print color images in black. Instead, everything prints in green. I have cleaned the cartridges using the computer. Any ideas?
Black print started to fade. Cartridge status showed black was 50% filled.
Black continued to fade until it disapeared. Tried all fixes offered on computer... nothing works. Took cartridge out and blew in vent hole.. ink appeared at dispensing point. Put cartridge back in printer and tried again.
Got color print but not a sign of black. With so many having the same problem, sounds like a Dell 720 printer problem.
My printer suddenly will not print black-yet paper moves thru as though it were printing. Have changed cartridges and gone thru all troubleshoot helps. No help as yet. WHAT IS PROBLEM?

Will not print black, a new cartridge has bee inserted
Same problem as above. No black ink comes out and the blue is very faded. Have tried with various new ink cartridges I have bought and I get the same problem. Also tried updating the driver but it does nothing about the problem.
