Hello. Thanks for the response. I don't know how I did it, but the green disappeared after a couple of cleanings. Then, my prints were great. I printed 40 or 50 beauties, but then there was too much purple in the prints. Do I need to change the ink cartridge so soon or is that number about average? Thanks so much for your help. Linda
You are likely out of magenta ink or the magenta print nozzles are clogged. After you are sure that you have plenty of all inks perform a few print head cleanings to see if it solves the problem.
