New ink cartridges are installed but I still have bad color on images, specifically blue. Its very streaked and wavy. Could it be the print head? I subscribe to the Ink Program, and I think that includes new print heads. How do I ask for one of them?

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I appreciate your efforts to try and resolve the issue.
- Did you make a copy and check if that prints fine?
If you have already performed the steps from the document Black or Color Ink Not Printing, Other Print Quality Issues and the issue persists, it could be a hardware failure. Please reach out to HP Support in your region regarding the service options for your printer. HP Support can be reached by clicking on the following link: www.hp.com/contacthp/
