| 48220 | 2002-05-11 02:29:00 | Hello people, Last night for a school project my son had to print a picture of the Eifel Tower, lovely blue sky background. Printer printed the picture with a pink/blue background. How can I fix this, if at all. The cartridge is new, and a genuine canon BCI-21. Tried to alter the settings, in properties, got worse not better. Printed the test page, got the 3 colour boxes at top, red, blue green, test page is slightly blurry, not crystal clear. Does it need a service, ie heads cleaned? Is it too old and stuffed? Any ideas greatly appreciated. Eagerly awaiting your replies. Cheers. |

Or alternatively, the printer is set to print in RGB (Red Green Blue) which is what monitors display. When you do a test print, it should display CMYK colour boxes. Try altering your printer settings to print in CMYK. |
