PIXMA TS702a (brand new) won't print color.

Hi,

I just bought a PIXMA TS702a and have it all set up.  It will only print black and white on paper as well as on icing sheets.  I have edible ink loaded into the printer (it is designed to print on food sheets).  I have the print settings set to color.  I'm using a MAC - is there something I'm not doing that needs to happen to get it to print color?  I've bled all the print cartridges - they are all working fine. Also, I've tried printing on regular paper and icing sheets - it does the same thing on both - only prints black and white

If you run a nozzle check do all the colors print?

The printer has five cartridges. One of the black cartridges is pigment black and is intending for printing B&W text.

The four dye ink cartridges (BK, C, Y, M) are for printing color.

Perhaps the printer thinks it is printing text?

Hi, thanks for the help.  When I set the printer up and the nozzle check was done, it only printed black and not the colors.

If the nozzle check only prints black then the cartridges aren’t working fine.
