| [title] Testing (CMYK) | |
| - | [* black] After replacing the printhead and running a printhead cleaning, print the same reference image and see how much the result improved. Do this multiple times if you have to, but try not to exceed 3 attempts. |
| - | [* icon_note] If you still have quality issues, you may need to run another printhead cleaning to get more ink through the printhead. |
| - | [* icon_caution] ***Important: Ink levels matter for this test. If your ink is low, it is recommended you replace the ink cartridge that is low, along with any ink that is not far off from running out of ink. The ink in this printer was low.*** |
| + | [* icon_caution] Ink levels are very important for this test. Make sure your ink cartridges have a sufficient amount of ink to test the end results. If your ink is low, I would recommend buying a new set of ink to test the end result. |
| + | [* icon_note] If you have a 5 color printer (K/PK/C/M/Y), you will need to print this test photo in a photo printing default mode. This is required because your printer has a second black that is not used in standard document modes. |
| + | [* icon_note] You may need to run miltiple printhead cleanings to get enough ink through the chambers to restore printer functionality. Do not do this more then ***two to three*** times. |
| + | [* icon_reminder] If your print quality issues still exist after 3 printhead cleaning cycles, clean the printhead a second time. If you continue having problems, it is very likely to be a faulty printhead that simply cannot be saved without buying a new printhead. At this point, it's better to buy a new printer. |
| + | [* black] After replacing the printhead, run one printhead cleaning to get ink back through the chambers of the printhead. Print the same image as you used before (use the same settings) and see if the quality has improved. |
