Even if you clean the print heads and replace old inks there are still dry ink that is clogging the ink ways of the cartridge.
You may flush it with tap water to let the ink flow out.
here is the procedure to do that.
....Open your printer cover, remove the cartridge..place the printhead
directly on a tap water running slowly. This will help flush the dried
ink that clogged in the printhead. Turn the print head over, bottom
side up until you see the ink flowed out from the printhead, do this
until you see the a smooth flow of ink..(better result if the water is
warm).. tap water contains residual minerals that can clog also the
printhead..so it is advisable to final flush the printhead with a
distilled water (it has no impurities) and dry it with cloth..
The
last thing to do and it will take you sometime is to soak the printhead
portion of your cartridge in a mixture of ammonia and hot distilled
water, (please make sure that the contact point of the cartridge to the
printer is not soak).. Place the printhead on the hot water and leave
it there for about 4 to 5 hours..move it on different location from
time to time..After soaking, rinse it with distilled water and dry it
with cloth...
After doing the instructions, return back the cartridge to the printer and do the printhead alignment..
Try printing a test page and see the outcome...
Your print heads are probably bad. Best solution is to buy a new printer. The cost on the print heads is more than the machine is worth.
