HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M283cdw - Newer ink cartridges and print is faded
I have a fairly new (18 months) HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M283cdw printer. The print quality for the first 15 or 16 months was excellent. I have only used HP replacement cartridges. Now when I print the ink is faded and sometimes the colors do not show up at all. I've run through all of the troubleshooting offered online and have seen no improvements. This is incredibly frustrating b/c I just spent about $400 for new ink cartridges and now the prints are useless. Blues are not too bad...about the same as the black, visible and readable but faded. Reds are pink-ish when they show up at all and yellow is even worse. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the printer several times with and without using HP Smart. I have cleaned and calibrated. I have removed the toner cartridges and wiped them with a lens cleaning cloth. My current cartridges are still over 1/2 full. Any ideas/advice??? Thanks!
