PIXMA MG3620 Prints Look Dull Instead of Vibrant

[lovinlocks]

The cartridges in my printer are the ones that shipped with it so I am sure they are Canon.  My prints are "dull" looking vs. vibrant.  Oh, have not had this printer 14 days even.

MG3620, the photos I print (on various papers) are dull, lifeless, no saturation.  I have had the printer about two weeks, fyi (so it's not old).  Also, ink is what came with the printer, Canon originals.

Thank you.

What papers are you trying? Have you used a glossy inkjet photo paper, like Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy II? A matte paper gives less of what you want. An uncoated plain paper is the worst.
