Printing Splotchy and Missing Colours

[miamina]

Hello, 

I wanted to print some coloured photos today but when printing it seems that my colours aren't blended. For example, brown look more like oranges and yellows, yellows won't show up, blues are splotchy, etc. I've included photos of what an example of my prints have looked like. The colours are all bery inconsistent. This isn't my first time printing.  

The picture on the left is the original one, the one on the right is my print. As you can see they are not consistent with each other. In order to solve this issue I have tried cleaning and wiping the printheads in which there was little residue. I have also cleaned the cartridges using the printer settings. Nothing has worked thus far. Although I have noticed that my new ink sent via instant ink is 65/304 when my printer is recommended for 63 or 63 XL. Could this be the issue. My print quality reports come out normal, there is nothing abnormal about them. My printer is also perfectly aligned as I have done it twice today. It would be great if someone could solve this issue!

Thank you!
