Replaced all four new ink cartridges at the same time but the magenta is not showing at all. Exchanged with a new magenta ink cartridge but still not working. And the print quality is bad. Printer is only a year and half old. Does anyone know what is wrong? Please see the demo prints.

Hello @M281fdw2,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
- check the cartridges,
remove the magenta cartridge - is the stripe removed from the magenta cartridge?
- insert the magenta again
If you see the same result, then the magenta cartridge is defective!
Must be reclaimed.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

Oh yeah, the toners don't have streaks. 😉
It could be a contact problem!
But also the internal chip could be defective.
If removing and reinserting is not a solution, then this toner cartridge is broken!

No,
but I would still try a calibration.
Are errors displayed then?
