Question

What is the most likely cause of a print job rendering the wrong colors on the output?

Answer 1

The most likely cause of a print job rendering the wrong colors on the output is One of the inks is empty.

Explanation:

• At first simply try uninstalling and reinstalling the printer driver. Use only genuine ink cartridges or toner supplies. Make sure to remove ink smears on the back of printouts if any present there.
• Most ink cartridges ship with a small strip of protective tape covering the print nozzle. The tape blocks the nozzle to prevent ink from leaking out during storage or shipping.
• If you don't remove the tape, the cartridge won't be able to print. Remove the cartridge from the printer and look for the tape.
• Make sure the Black or Grayscale setting is not selected in your printer software.
• Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged.
• Try using the color management options in your printer software.
