PIXMA iP8720 washed out colors

Hello! I've had the Canon ip8720 since February 2024. I primarily use it to print stickers on this matte sticker paper. For the print settings, I use "Matte Photo paper" for Media Type, and "High" for Print Quality. I'm using official Canon ink only. The printing is done wirelessly, as well. I realize that this isn't using official Canon paper, but the paper + settings have worked very well up until recently.

Anyway, I can't pinpoint when this started, but recently the colors have begun to come out noticeably faded. Especially obvious in the yellows, blues, and darks, they just aren't as vibrant as they used to be. I've tried cleaning the nozzle, then deep cleaning the nozzle (twice), then uninstalling the driver and reinstalling, but the colors never seem to improve. Anything else I can do?
