We don’t use our printer that regularly and it’s hardly printed much over the past year, however every time we try to use it the print quality is terrible! It’s streaky, half of the text doesn’t print and it’s been like this for months! I’ve tried all the alignment and head clean options and it makes no difference whatsoever! The last time the only way I got it to work was to replace the ink cartridges. I’m not willing to keep doing this as there is hardly any ink used out of them, so looking to see if there are any other solutions?! I’ve attached a photo of the Print Quality Diagnostic Page after I’ve done the 2 step head clean tonight for info.
