I have had this issue twice now. It seems HP is producing low quality ink cartridges that stop working before the ink runs out, forcing us to buy new cartridges to resolve the issue.

 

My current issue is with my color cartridge. The results of my "Print Quality Diagnostic" is showing missing and streaked blocks for the colors.

I have cleaned the printheads multiple times, but this has not resolved the issue.

I also have tried aligning the print heads, but the software will not accept my pattern choices inputs. I get stuck in a loop with the interface retrying to input the pattern choices, but they don't get accepted.

The only solution I have had work in the past is by replacing the ink cartridge with a new one.

 

I should not have to buy new cartridges to replace defective ones. How do I make a claim in order to get a refund or some type of compensation for faulty products? 

If I can't get help I will look into pursuing legal actions.
