Whenever I try to print bright red, it comes out dark red almost black.

I just replaced the cartridge, I printed a test page on white paper, it printed correctly, red was bright.

i aligned the cartridges

I put in glossy white paper and it printed dark red again.

I tried plain  white paper and this time it was dark red once again. How do I make it print correctly bright red.
