HP ENVY 4520 All-in-One Printer

The printing on the black cartridge is really streaky, so as it was low I replaced it with a new black HP cartridge however the printing quality was worse! I have cleaned the cartridge a number of times and aligned the printer but it has not made a difference! Surely this is not right, not sure what to do next!
