All colours and black print faded. Black is a grey green colour. I've cleaned nozzles and all cartridges have been replaced.
ANSER #1
Assuming that you are using original Canon cartridges or a brand of Compatibles that you have used before.
If print results are blurred, colors are faded or not printed correctly, the pint head nozzles are probably clogged.
Follow the procedure below to print the nozzle check pattern, check the print head nozzle condition, then clean the Print Head. You may have to do this 2 or 3 times.
If printed ruled lines are misaligned or print results are otherwise unsatisfactory, aligning the Print Head may improve print quality.
Caution Do not rinse or wipe the Print Head and ink tanks. This can cause trouble with the Print Head and ink
tanks.
Note Before performing maintenance
Open the Top Cover and make sure that all lamps on the ink tanks are lit red.
If not, see Checking the Ink Status and take an appropriate action.
Increasing the print quality in the printer driver settings may improve the print result.
Answer #2
Canon Cleaning the Print Head Deeply
If print quality does not improve by standard cleaning of the Print Head, clean the Print Head deeply. Cleaning the Print Head deeply consumes more ink than standard cleaning of the Print Head, so clean the Print Head deeply only when necessary.
1. Make sure that the power is turned on.
2. Open the printer properties dialog box.
3. Clean the Print Head deeply.
(1) Click the Maintenance tab.
(2) Click Deep Cleaning.
(3) Select the ink group to clean deeply.
When cleaning the nozzles of black ink tanks: Select Black if there are missing lines in PGBK of the nozzle
check pattern, or Color if there are white streaks in BK of the nozzle check pattern. For details on the nozzle check pattern.
(4) Click Execute.
Note Clicking Initial Check Items displays the items to be checked before cleaning the Print Head
deeply.
(5) Confirm the displayed message and click OK.
The printer starts cleaning the Print Head deeply when the Power lamp starts flashing green.
Do not perform any other operations until the printer completes the deep cleaning of the Print Head. This takes about 2 minutes.
4. Print the nozzle check pattern to check the print head condition.
Note
If the problem is not resolved, open the Top Cover to confirm that the ink is remaining, turn off
the printer, then clean the Print Head deeply again after 24 hours.
If this does not solve the problem, the Print Head may be damaged.
