Pink tinge to colored photos

You have a clogged color print head and needs cleaning or replacement if the old ink hasn't hardened in the jets of the print head.Your printer needs service.

You need to go to the cannon print folder (Start > All Programs ? Cannon > ) and run the printers diagnostice/ utilities program.

This sounds like you need to either clean the heads (utilities pgm) and or replace carrtridges.

Make sure that you don't have photo cyan or photo magenta where the plain colors should be, or vice versa, The color scheme is set in printer properties and some viruses can fool with your settings, make sure you run a virus check.

If you have installed photo cyan or photo magenta, your prints will be off color. This machine only uses plain cyan and plain magenta.

You are running low on your color ink cartridge. It cannot mix the primary colors right anymore and the color images start getting a pink-purple tinge to them. Get a new set of cartidges and install them and this should fix the problem fine. Hope this helps.

Try changing the resolution from standard to high each time.

slide pink slider 100%left

haven't come across this problem myself, but renew all the ink cartridges, using Epson genuine only and no refills

When you run the nozzel check, do each of the colors print out right, or just the magenta ones?
