PIXMA MG3620 Washed Out Photo Prints

I’ve had this printer since August. It started printing terrible washed out photos. My ink levels were low so bought new ink. The photos are the same. Totally unusable. I have done a deep cleaning. Reinstalled 4 times , checked printer cartridges multiple times. This was a very inexpensive printer and if it wasn’t for the fact I just spent over $50 on ink , I would just throw it out. I also calibrated my monitor. Any ideas? This is a gorgeous picture , just so you know.

Greetings ArthurJ,

@Nancy,

Are you also certain you are printing on the correct side of the paper?

The curl of the paper gives additional weight to Rick's question about whether you are printing on the correct side of the paper.
