Black print is very faint - MP280

Hello,

The printer/computer says my ink cartridges are nearly full. I took them out and wiped them clean. I don't use it very much, but when I do, I need it. It will print black, however, it is very faint. What can I do?

MP280 series

Windows 10

Serial number LFLA94303
