I just unpackaged and set up this brand new printer. After successfully aligning the pages and completing set up, I ran a multi-page black-ink only print job. After successfully printing @ 100 pages, the print quality started to diminish. There is fading/streaking on subsequent pages. The printer received an update mid-print job. The ink cartridges are new - I used the ones that came with the new printer. Any ideas how the cause of this fading/streaking could be?

Whoopsi! I forgot the initial ink packaged with the new printer was minimal. Guess I shouldn't have tried to print 100 pages. LOL! Good thing my ink shipment is already on the way!
