After installing 4 new ink cartriges into my Hp officejet pro 9025 all in one printer, it worked flawlessly.  However I noticed one of the cartriges seemed to be using more ink than the others.  Can a damaged printer head be at fault here? Is this normal for the Cyan ink?

The cyan is mixed to get other colors.  Cyan is mixed with magenta to get red, and with yellow to get green. And if you print something that contains green and blue the cyan will be consumed more than others.
