Colour printing over saturated

[Alicedonnelly]

My colour printing is printing out extremely over-saturated. Not sure what the problem is? The cartridge is full.

Hi @Alicedonnelly,

 I'd like to help!

To better assist you - 

1) Does the copy print out the same way? 

2) What's the application you are trying to print from? Have you tried printing from a different application or devices? 

While you respond to that, let's print a Print Quality Diagnostic page 

1. Load plain paper into the input tray.

2. Click the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences.

3. Depending on your operating system, click Print & Scan or Printers & Scanners.

4. In the Print & Scan or Printers & Scanners window, select your printer, and then click Options & Supplies.

5. Click Utility, and then click Open Printer Utility.

   HP Utility opens.

6. Click Print Quality Diagnostics, and then click Print.

Post the Print Quality Diagnostic page here so we can help you further. 

You may also refer to this document with steps to fix " Print Quality Issues" issue applicable for your printer -  Print Quality Issues

 Also, try updating the printer's firmware - HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
