Hello,

 

We just bought M252dw laserjet printer new, but the color is very off.

It's so dark and totally red/orange ish print.

How I can fix this?

Everything turns out orange/red print.

 

I tried color calibration and adjust alignments but nothing changed, still orange/red print only.

Texts are not blurred, just color is totally off.

 

Thanks!

Madoka

Thanks for the reply,
I tried everything on the page, but didn't solve the problem.
And the cartridge is genuine, it came with the new printer.
The print still looks very red color shifted.
Maybe the ink cartridge is defective?
We bought from Amazon. Contact Amazon and return/exchange ?
