Hi,

I have been having issues with print quality from the main black cartridge for a while now. The colours and photo black are all fine.

I have cleaned and aligned the cartridges countless times, I have taken the printhead out and cleaned it, but to no avail.

Do I need to replace the printhead to solve this problem?

 

Thanks.
