PIXMA TR8620a Colors extremely off after ink replacement

[laurak34]

Hi all! As the title says I have a Pixma TR8620a printer and this morning I was making a large batch of stickers for my small shop and everything was going perfectly. Then my printer ink ran low and I changed it using the exact same ink/brand I always have used. I printed everything out with the settings as I usually do but all of a sudden the colors are EXTREMELY off. I don't know if it's possible the ink is a weird batch??? I've tried running almost every maintenance & cleaning setting and I'm just so confused as to what happened?
Anyone experience this before? Any and all advice appreciated!
