Hi @Mohit74,

Welcome to HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

If your HP Ink Tank Wireless 419 printer is not printing accurate colors, there are several potential causes and troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the issue.

• Check ink levels: Ensure that the ink tanks have sufficient ink levels. Low or empty ink cartridges can result in inaccurate colors. If necessary, replace any low or empty ink cartridges.
• Perform a print head cleaning: Use the printer's software or control panel to perform a print head cleaning. This process helps to remove any clogs or blockages that might be affecting the color accuracy.
• Check print settings: Make sure the print settings are correctly configured. Ensure that you have selected the appropriate paper type and quality settings for your print job. Incorrect settings may affect color reproduction.
• Calibrate the printer: Some printers offer a calibration feature that helps align the colors and optimize print quality. Check your printer's user manual or software settings to see if there is a calibration option available and follow the instructions provided.
• Update printer drivers: Outdated or incompatible printer drivers can cause color accuracy issues. Visit the HP website and download the latest drivers for your printer model. Install the updated drivers and check if the problem persists.
• Use genuine HP ink cartridges: Ensure that you are using genuine HP ink cartridges. Third-party or refilled cartridges may not provide the same color accuracy as original HP cartridges.
• Check the color profile: Verify that you are using the correct color profile for your printer and the specific media you are printing on. Color profiles help ensure accurate color reproduction. You can usually find the color profile settings in the printer software or driver settings.
• Test with different media: If possible, try printing on different types of paper or media to see if the color accuracy improves. Some papers or media may interact differently with the ink, affecting color reproduction.

I hope this helps. 
 

Take care and have a good day.
