PIXMA TS5020 Pink won't print right after cartridge replacement

I just replaced 3 of my ink cartridges as I always do but it is still printing as if they are old.  I have checked cartridges and they look good and the printer is registering that they are now "full".  Specific proplem, I am trying to print something with pink and purple.  The pink is coming out yellow and purple is coming out light blue.

First thing is to perform a nozzle check:

Steps to Print a Nozzle Check on Canon Pixma TS5020

Preparation

  • Ensure the printer is turned on.
  • Load A4 or Letter-sized plain paper into the printer.

Printing the Nozzle Check Pattern

  1. Navigate to the HOME screen on the printer.
  2. Select Setup.
  3. Choose Maintenance.
  4. Select Print nozzle check pattern.

This process will print a test pattern that helps determine if the ink is ejecting properly from the print head. If the printed pattern shows any issues, such as missing lines or streaks, further maintenance may be required.
