Question about Canon PIXMA iP3000 InkJet Photo Printer

Colour of print

My printer has started to print colour incorrectly. It is the first time this has happened and I have had the printer for a few years. Instead of printing the colours correctly everything is coming out in shades of pink. Black is the only other colour coming through (and not very well). Any ideas?

Similar problem to Gayll. E.g. grey comes out with a pink tinge. Carrying out head checks and cleaning sequence has made no difference. Using Canon ink so this is not the problem.

Have you tried doing a cleaning of the print head first?

Brother Inkjet printers' printheads are very sensitive, using non-genuine ink clots the printhead. Try to clean the head by pressing the ink maintenance button. Sometimes you need to clean several times.

Epson R265 printing colours incorrectly

For the black and white issue, check the settings and make sure that it isn't set on "sepia". As for the color issue, it is quite possible that you are out of ink. Printers may use more of one color than another depending on what you're printing. Change your color cartridge.

Incorrect colour is printed

I would try to replace the printhead and the magenta cartridge at the same time. Lots of people with leaky cartridges have this same symptom only, it is with whatever color is malfunctioning.
