After replacing ink my colors got messed up. My green will print green and then show streaks of yellow, by the end of the page being all yellow. Same with blue - turns to pink. 

I replaced all the colors again, and then I cleaned print heads through maintenance screen. I have been searching google for the answer and can't seem to find how to fix this.

The printhead is clogged or defective, is your warranty still in effect?

you need to manually clean your print head.  Soak it in some water to unclog whatever is stuck.
