Incorrect color matching

Using the MP960, I have been experiencing incorrect color matching from the computer to the printer as well as from an SD card in the printer.  The color in heavy on Magenta.  I have tried the head nozzle check pattern and have good results, but the photo glossy paper (4X6) shows poor color representation.  I have changed out the photo magenta and the yellow cartridges and use either Canon original or Carrot ink ones.  Any suggestions???  Would the print head be bad, and if it is, is it easy for me to change out the print head?  (the machine is 2 years old and has never been worked on)

My Konica-Minolta-Bizhub-C350-Color-Copier-Printer paper keeps jamming, why?

well could be several reason incorrect paper size incorrect paper weight are you running Thick 1 or Thick 2 to paper. Do you know how to read paper weight? on out side of the paper package is words 20lb or 36lb mite also see the something like 75 g/m2 that is the weight of paper in the metric world (Every one else except the GOOD OLD USA.:):):) we use the lb. system . select paper on the control panel and make sure the paper weight matches most paper copy are putting both lb. and metric but if it is only metric then use the control panel to figure it as you select the thick 1 or 2 you will see the g/m2 on the control panel, if you using paper off the shelve and don't know then call the company where you get the paper from and ask them. Are using the bypass tray make sure that you follow the icon on the screen when it says load paper in the by pass tray does the little icon show portrait or landscape. if you using legal size paper did you pull out the extention tray to allow additional sensor to come into play for the longer paper. Does you print properties on the computer screen match what is in the draws? IF the paper come wrapped an only has lb. # then you will not find it on the control panel you need to get your operation manual out in that manual will be a chart that show what lb. # equals what thick 1 or thick 2.

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/normanj_7893313f0751935f

Right Cartridge Incorrect on Lexmark 5400

Hi
Here are a few possibilities...
1. Try cleaning the contacts on the inkjet cartridge and where they make contact inside the printer. (use cotton wool and Alchol) if that does not work...
2. Pull out power cable from printer wait 1 MINUTE then insert cable and switch back on again. (some printers reset to factory settings)
3. Remove printer cable from computer... Uninstall Printer driver from computer... Switch off both printer and computer. Wait 1 minute... Reconnect cables and switch on printer and computer... Allow computer to find printer reinstall driver.
4. Try installing old cartridge to see if printer rejects that?
5. You may have a faulty inkjet cartridge (return it to store if so)

Good Luck!

Everything I print comes out pink, including black print is pink.

Run a clean cycle and a test page this is priming the cartridges. If this fails to get the colors going the printer will need to go in for repair. The internal print circuit could be gone. Check costs before doing this a new printer maybe worth less then the repair.

Printing incorrect or faded colour.

Your printer have 4 sensors for ink level in ink tank section. Clean this sensors. Incorrect or dust colors - problems with printhead, or with the ink system. If you never replace printhead on this printer - call service. Thats be cheepest.
