Terrible photo quality

[Cherylld]

Photos consistently print with off colors (currently they’re running too red, precious pack of ZINK paper was too yellow) and now they’re printing with hairline black borders around the edges.

Before an official HP spokesperson replies I have repeatedly tried all of their suggestions:
1. I use official HP ZINK paper
2. I’m using the current firmware
3. I’ve recalibrated/cleaned the printer multiple times with the included blue smart sheet
4. I’ve let the printer cool down between prints
5. I’ve restarted the printer between prints
6. The photos are taken on my iPhone so it isn’t a resolution issue
7. I’ve disabled Embedded Experiences

I’ve literally tried everything listed in multiple combinations, have gone through 3 packs of paper (and yes, I use the smart sheet for each pack and don’t recycle them), and all the prints look like they were barfed out.

Please tell me there’s a solution for this. I got the printer in February and I’ve yet to produce a satisfactory image from it.
