Hi all,

Got a strange problem. I have an older BJC3000 printer which I recently
filled the cartridges with. After doing that I decided to test what the
inks looked like because prints seemed to be coming out warm.

To do this I opened Photoshop CS and created four boxes. I filled each
box with 100% of one of the CMYK colors. I then printed the document.

While the Cyan, Yellow and Black came out looking as I'd expect them to
be, the Magenta actually looked Brick Red!!!!! I emailed Canon for
suggestions, and all they could suggest would be to do a deep cleaning
and align my print heads, which I'd already done when I put the
cartridges back in. I even took the print head out and did a thorough
cleaning with printer cleaner, using Q-tips to get into the "nooks and
crannies" on the bottom.

I even went as far as to find some type of color profile for that
printer, which I could plug into my copy of PSCS, but couldn't find
anything.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, what did you do?

Thanks in advance,

Robert
