Hi,
Could you do a "diagnostic" print? As it might be that the colours con your tricolour cartridge have been cross-contaminated**
To test the purity of the colour just go to word, excel or any other application, Create a document that has pure colour squares or you can print page 1 of this link . Then compare the colours of the page on the screen versus what you got. if the colours are off, it means your cartridge has been cross contaminated. Sadly a cross contaminated cartridge can't be fixed. So if you just bought it I would recommend you return it :(
Cheers, Ed

**: (this could be the results of refilling, storing the cartridge in the wrong container or on very rare occasions a HP manufacturing issue).

When I print pictures, they print with a pink tint. But when printing text, it comes out black/normal. How can I get rid of the pink tint?

Try to the clean the nozzles of your color cartridge. Refer to this article in the Lexmark website on How to Clean the Print Cartridge Nozzles with the Lexmark X7350. If problem continues, try to insert a different known working cartridge to deternine if your color cartridge is faulty.

Canon Powershot s60 photos have pink tint

Hello

Thank you for using
FixYa for your problem


Your camera is faulty. It should be taken to an authorized repair centre for a repair estimate. Very few digital cameras have any user-serviceable parts.

Please rate our solutions and if you still have problems please call back for more ideas to help you

New x5650 printer will not print all colors only red/pink tint.

Assuming there is ink in the color cartridges and that it's viable, then you need to clean the printhead. There should be documentation for doing this in the software that came with the printer.

LP70+ projects a dark rose/pink tint upon the screen

The pink tint produced by my LP70+ projector was not a lamp issue but a connectivity issue. I swapped the old cable with a good known cable and the tint went away.

Pink tinge to colored photos

Canon has a number of things you can check in their knowledgebase. Go here. Type "pink tint" in the search box and click Search. If you select the first item "tinted printing" you will get at least 21 things you can try (only 10 show up per screen).

Hp photosmart 7350

The 7550 takes three cartridges 56(black) 57(tri-color) and 58 (photo).

If you replace the 57 but the 58 is also empty and still in its slot - you get green tinted photos.

So, check to see if you have the 58 photo cartridge still installed, and if it is out of ink. If so - remove the 58 - the printer will then default to "reserve mode" and you'll get better color.
