MFC9420Cn When we print in color, the colors that need to be mixed are off a little bit. The black, blue yellow and red print fine, but anything that needs to be mixed is off. I think it may be the PF kit2, but I am not sure.

I am having problems with mine also it is mainly with the color blue and it is only doing it with the left side of the paper, so I checked my parts life and my pf kit 2 is showing 0% life. If anyone has any ideas let me know.

PF Kit2 is paper feed kit. I doubt that is the problem. Weve had strange color problems caused by waste toner.

If black ink is out, will copy in color possible from pc? Also how do I reset this printer?

Dear
Since the model is not found, its difficult to say. however in most cases the subtractive colors are used ie cyan,magenta and yellow. with mixing these white is produced but in case of basic color used ie. red,green and yellow, on mixing these black color is produced. Mostly cyan, magenta and yellow is used hence you can not produce black color so the a complete color print not possible.
Thanks.

Red and blue tint

Often "grayscale" is achieved by mixing some of your colors (CYM) to form composite black and gray - not necessarily just black from your black cartridge. Often there is some yellow used beneath the black -- so if you are getting a red or blue tint, it could mean something as simple as being low on yellow ink.

If your going to print in color may it be just red or blue. You really need all of the cartridges for it to work. Because for the printer to come up with those colors. It would need all three colors Cyan, Magenta and Yellow to come up with the any color, in your problem, Blue and Red.

Only prints in green and blue

You are more than likely out of magenta (red) ink. That printer uses a tri-color cartridge, and it has cyan (blue) magenta (red) and yellow ink. Green is blue + yellow-therefore you do have those two colors; since it will not print anything red or black you will need to replace both cartridges.

Prints all yellow, with some blue and black, no brown

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.

Simply using too much ink

Your MP500 is similar to my MP780. I don't think you can get anything from the stores. It is hard to tell if the yield of 200 is accurate or not. It probably is but a lot depends o the images and text you are printing. If you print the color red, your yellow and magenta cartridges will be used to produce red. So in effect you will use up 2 colors to produce one color. To print something in greed your printer will mix the Cyan and Yellow (I think) and for blue it will mix Cyan and Magenta. So if you are wanting to print something for your own use, I suggest you print in black/greyscale only and in draft mode. However for presentation, I think it is best you do the standard printing. Black in draft mode I understand only uses the PG5 black cartridge. If you print anything in colors specially pictures, there is no way to accurately determine the yield and not a good idea to scrimp on the ink or else you get a poor quality picture.

Color Quality is not so great anymore

Sounds like the machine needs to be cleaned. Probably a heavy use machine that has quite a bit of ink spray build up on the inside. I would imagine your service station has quite a bit of ink build up in it as well possibly causing the cartridges not to be cleaned like they should. A good cleaning cures most of what ails inkjet printers. We would charge $85 in our shop for complete disassembly down to the metal frame and cleaning.
