I registered my printer for instant ink and my current cartridges are not empty, however the quality is not good. I am getting lines through printed graphics. I have gone through the level 3 cleaning process and it has not improved. How do I get a replacement cartridge without waiting for a replacement cartridge which will not be for a long time.
