Everything is Pink!

Sarabax766 — Fri, 11 Dec 2020 13:32:14 GMT

I just replaced the color cartridge on my PIXMA MX340 and everything on the page is coming out pink (even the black type looks a little purple). So the color cartridge is full and the black cartridge is showing at about 75%. Any ideas on what the problem could be?

Greetings,

A pink, reddish or magenta looking cast often indicates double color management.

This occurs when you have color management specified in the application you are printing from as well as in the printer driver itself.

Perform a nozzle check pattern and verify all colors look normal. If they do, then thats the issue.

Thanks for replying. I tried cleaning everything, and it still is printing pink. I even changed out the black cartridge. I'm don't think it has to do with the application as it happens with whatever I print - pdf, word, etc.

Here is the image (ignore that black streaks - those are from the printer cartridge I started to change). There is also a very faint yellow box at the bottom (that you can't see).
