Product: HP Smart Tank 529 All-in-One Printer

Im experiencing an issue with my HP Smart Tank 529 All-in-One printer. Whenever I print color documents or photos, there's a noticeable purple or magenta tint over the entire print. This affects all colors, making them appear unnatural. Black and white prints come out fine

Here's what I've tried so far:

  • Ran the printhead cleaning utility multiple times (up to level 3).

  • Checked ink levels; all tanks are adequately filled.

  • Performed printhead alignment.

  • Ensured the ink tanks are properly seated and ventilated.

  • Used different types of paper (plain and photo).

  • Reinstalled the printer drivers

Despite these steps, the issue persists. I suspect it might be related to the magenta ink not dispensing correctly, as similar issues have been reported in other HP Smart Tank models .
