Black has greenish tinge
If you open the preferences option for your printer there should be a maintenance tab with easy options for cleaning and checking the results. The alternative is to use the menu directly on the printer: 1. Press Menu twice to show "2. Maintenance" 2. The first option is NOZZLE CHECK 3. Press OK This should give you a print showing the current state of each colour. If there are any missing lines in 3eBK or lines in any colours then perform the head cleaning below. 1. Press Menu twice to show "2. Maintenance" 2. Press + to show "CLEANING" 3. Press OK Repeat the nozzle check after each clean. If not improved after three attempts try a deep clean as below (cleaning uses up ink) 1. Press Menu twice to show "2. Maintenance" 2. Press + twice to show "HEAD REFRESHING" 3. Press OK Repeat the nozzle check. If still not printing correctly there are various external solutions available to clean the print head such as http://www.printheadhospital.co.uk/canon-hp-printhead-cleaning-kit.html

cleaning the ink tanks did help a lot but it's still not perfect, can age of the printer affect print quality at all
thanks so much, amanda

SOURCE: I am using Kodak Photo Paper and get a distinct
ive been printing photos on my new epson and im noticing the same thing i tired a different brand of paper (the dollar store kind) and there seems to be no greenish tint, im wondering if its actually the kodak paper itself i thought it might be the printer but the blacks on this other paper seem to be dead on. i also tried some hp paper in a 5x7 format insted of 4x6 and i didn't notice the greeny tint so my assumption is its the paper.
