Hi @ofirb32,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

To reset or align the printer colors on an HP Envy 5070 printer, you generally need to go through a series of steps to ensure the colors are printing correctly. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Check Ink Levels:

Before resetting colors, make sure your ink cartridges are properly installed and have sufficient ink. Low ink levels can affect print quality.

2. Perform a Printer Self-Test:

This step helps diagnose color issues and might prompt you to realign or clean the printheads.

Access the Control Panel:

• On the printer's control panel, press the "Setup" button (often depicted as a wrench or gear icon).

Navigate to Tools:

• Use the arrow keys to select "Tools" or "Printer Maintenance".

Print a Diagnostic Page:

• Select "Print Quality Report" or "Print Test Page". This page will help you assess the color alignment and quality.

3. Align the Printheads:

This process corrects any color misalignments.

Go to the Control Panel:

• Press the "Setup" button again.

Find the Printer Maintenance Options:

• Select "Printer Maintenance" or "Tools".

Select Align Printheads:

• Choose "Align Printheads" or "Align Cartridges". The printer will print an alignment page and prompt you to insert it back into the scanner for alignment.

4. Clean the Printheads:

Cleaning the printheads can resolve issues with color quality.

Access the Maintenance Menu:

• From the "Setup" menu, select "Printer Maintenance".

Choose Clean Printheads:

• Select "Clean Printheads" or "Clean Cartridges". Follow the on-screen instructions. The printer will perform a cleaning cycle to improve color output.

5. Print a Test Page:

After alignment and cleaning, print a test page to check if the color issues are resolved.

Access the Control Panel:

• Again, press the "Setup" button.

Select Print Quality Report:

• Choose "Print Quality Report" or "Print Test Page" to evaluate color performance.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
