Canon TS9520 Printing Faint Colors

[adeeyis]

Does anyone have any issues with their Canon TS9520?  I recently purchased one and I find that the colors are very washed out.  I downloaded the drivers, I am using the best quality setting and I tried many different settings but it still doesn't give me good quality prints.  I purchased it because I read that inkjet printers produce better quality prints than laser.  However, if I print this image to my Konica printer, the colors are MUCH more vibrant/richer than the inkject.  Is there something that I may have missed during the setup process?

Greetings,

Start by printing a nozzle check pattern and clean if indicated.

Its also important to use correct paper type and settings for best results.    

If nothing helps, I suggest you contact Canon to report the issue and see if they can help.

Rick,

I tried that also. 

I was able to get it to print the colors that I wanted, but it only works on glossy paper.  I get horrible colors on matte sticker paper and regular copy paper.  It is almost like I am confined to only being able to print on glossy paper.  I selected the correct paper that I am printing to, but the glossy paper prints surpass everything that I print on other mediums.

Do you have the same model?  I have resorted to just printing on glossy paper.  I have not found any matte/plain paper that my printer plays nicely with.

I came here to report the same thing!  I got the TS9520 in October of 2024, when my MG8120 finally bit the dust!  Now that was the BEST Canon printer I've ever owned! This TS9520 doesn't hold a candle to the former model.I took senior pictures of a great nephew, this past week. I used the Canon R6 Mark ii, with an RF 50mm 1.2 lens. The histogram in the camera showed each photo exposed right down the middle but when I print them out I'm getting very white, washed-out, faces! I decided at that point to stop printing on my new printer and download the digital photos to Walmart and have them print out my proofs. They should be delivered to me this Saturday.  I will come back and report what they look like!
