Hi There!
I just received the second generation Sprocket ZINK printer from Amazon and started to print images after following the instructions on how to install.
First few images came out with a magenta shift in the whites and blacks. So I Googled the issue and came across a few threads and followed the steps provided.
- Make sure printer is at 100% Battery life
- Ensure blue print quality card is scanned
- Give time between prints
- Update firmware
None of the above worked so I
- Rest to factory settings
- uninstalled & reinstall app and printer.
- made sure quality card was scanned etc.
still getting a magenta shift.
Please help. I was so excited to see how far ZINK technology has evolved since I lasted tried it out years back. Still not living up to my expectations. Not expecting amazing quality, but at least decent color?
Best,
Shadari
