Canon Pixma Pro 100 Cyan printing lighter

[JasperGrinsdale]

Hello. Recently, my Canon Pixma Pro 100 started printed the Cyan super light, and checking the test print, there also seems to be a problem with the Grey as you can see the orange vertical lines which use to be a dark grey. I'm not sure if these two issues are related although my primary concern is the Cyan. 

I've done the cleaning, deep cleaning, and have also done manual cleaning several times with ammonia and other solutions with no change in the test print. Since there wasn't a change in the test print, I'm wondering what the issue may be. 

I'm open to buying a new printhead although I wonder what the probability would be that it's not the printhead but the printer itself. It would be a bummer to spend a few hundred on a new printhead only to find out that the problem is the actual printer. 

Any advice or knowledge on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
