Product: HP LasterJet Pro 200 Color M251nw
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I have installed all new HP toner cartridges in my HP LaserJet Pro 200 Color M251nw (all 4 colors new) because it was saying I was extremely low on all 4 colors -- I am using HP toner, purchased new.

Since installation, the color coming out of the printer is reduced. It is not as dark or vibrant, in fact it's practically pastel!

How can I get the same color intensity I had before installing the new toner?

Most common cause is failure to remove the orange shipping tabs from the cartridges. Second suggestion is that you run a full calibration on the printer.

Orange Shipping tabs have already been removed (prior to this problem).

So, how do I do a full calibration on my printer? I've tried to find this information on the internet, but for some reason I'm not finding anything that applies.
