My dichroic glass is slumping muddy colors instead of the bright ones and we don't know why they are so dull and muddy looking

I've had 5 Pro9000 & Pro9000 II's so far. Mechanically sound and fairly heavy duty. Mostly by default they print muddy or muted, with unsatisfactory reds and yellows. The default settings usually suck. I have had to develop my own driver settings and save them to printer profiles for individual situations. There is a lot of control in the driver settings and I recommend making your own color charts for reference, displaying the settings on each page. I also recommend regular nozzle checks and calibration. Avoid cleaning via the driver utility as this wastes a lot of ink, which is all deposited on the bottom of your printer and eventually has to be dealt with. Instead, remove and soak the head. Completely dry before reinstalling.

Something easy to try: with set unplugged remove back cover and locate the three large lens (black plastic housings) and clean the lens with either a lens cloth or a paper towel with glass cleaner sprayed on it.

The lens are your light source and if dusty the picture will be darker and look somewhat dull.

Let me know if you have questions.
