Hi my printer canon mp287 colored ink does'nt print correctly example color blue turns color violet, yellow turns color pink and pink turns color green

make sure that there is red in the cartridge to use

Either theyellow is finished or the nozzles are blocked. Try cleaningthe nozzles of the cartridge.

any chance it has dried out? run the test / head cleaning / did you reset the cartridge when you replaced it? generally if one or two colors work - the problem is the ink cartridge or the head for the colors not working. Did you remove the "tape" on the new cartridge?

Hi..

The nozzles have gone bad...it needs to be serviced or replaced...i appreciate your efforts yoy put in to fix the problem thats best we can do after all its a machine.if the printer is in warranty contact the manufacturer.

the problem is very simple the magenta ink the cartridge is over or the head is been blocked from where the magenta ink comes out,
because red colour requires ---yellow plus magenta(pink)----to make it red.and ----dark yellow plus magenta(pink) -------- for brown colour.

replaced ink cartridges..error message appears now telling me to re align printer..can you tell me how to do this

Hi,


Most printers is run by 4 colors black and the colored is basically yellow red blue. (or may called it magenta cyan etc)

1. One of you colored ink runs out that why you cant make any colored.
2. Or one of the basic color might be clog up, dry or simply empty.
3. you need all the 3 colors to make all the colors available.

good luck

There is probably dried ink blocking the tubing or print head.

The Maintenance section of your user's guide has a procedure for cleaning the print head and testing the ink nozzles. It may be necessary to have the print head replaced if the maintenance procedures won't clear the problem.

If you don't have the owner's manual, you can download it from Canon on this web page.

Good luck...and I hope this helps!!

Perhaps your cartride is low on ink, some printers will give you a status inside your printer settings on how much ink is in the cartridges.

Put in original inks and do a few cleans, if that doesn't work replace the head.
