Hi Guys, is this issue a print head? Its been happening inconsistently. Two highlights on test pattern below. The second is more indicative of the problem. Blue cartridge is over half full. HP designJet Z3200 Photo

myself have been using Z3100, Z3200 for over 4 years & to me, your diagnostic print seems fine, as soon as
all 12 colors were there.

For accurate colors print outs , make sure calibrate the medias first time use & use proper icc profile. HP
has pretty good icc profiles for hp medias... also there is another company called canson has very good

icc profiles for most of the hp designjet printers... but myself used the hp Z3200 utility & create my own
icc profiles.

for reference only..

With that type of fade, the first thing I would try would be a printhead.
