No problem with printer printing in purple hue. Have you cleaned the printer ink heads under the maintenance menu? And only purchase the kodak ink for the printer, do not refill the cartridges. Well I hope this is helpful and I hope it works. MERRY CHRISTMAS

Check your ink levels, if you are out of any color you may see banding. Also clean the printer heads.

Thanks for your help. I did the firmware update and tested the printer, but the problem still persists in my case.

I have had problems with the black banding unless I print it as photo quality which ends up using more ink. So far two has exhibited this behaviour.

I had to change the settings on my printer to be more vibrant. I don't think it had anything to do with how old the pkg. was. Try to darken your image before printing and "up" the color tones.

The printing heads may be misaligned. The printer's DVD comes with some diagnostics software. Run those and you should get a more explanatory error code and error message from the printer.

Hi Marion:You can try changing your color saturation settings in your printer properties. You can also reduce the resolution sometimes helps.

This just started happening on a hp 2605dn as well. Brief seach seems to show that, though not common, it is an issue. No solution found short of returning the printer.. yet. Have written to HP about this. I am waiting for an answer

Just tested them all out on my inkjet printer/copier. In a color copy all the colors show up but the yellow is very light. Using the black setting I only see faint purple and can just make out the green, blue and blue. I guess I would say that if you want it to show up on color and black copies, use the purple. Hope this helps you.

Almost certainly your printer has a dirty or clogged print head on one of the cartridges. Use the utilities to assist in diagnosing the problem. Regards, Bill

Which is exactly why I got rid of it not long after buying it! The color was ALWAYS "off". I was never able to correct it and Epson was no help. I have since purchased two Canon printers (one for home and one for work) and I love them. Good luck!

No, it won't print if is out of color ink. It already happen to me. Even though I was trying to pring a black copy.

Yes. I've printed from a light red to full bright red and a dark red. And, every one of them prints true to the image on the screen.

Please make sure your printer is set on black and white and color mode. In the on line instructions there is also a nozzle cleaning program you can try. If you get is to print, print a full color photo of some kind and set your printer on photo quality and print at least 5 pictures. This should clear up your issue. Thank you Freddie

I honestly do not know - I would check your printer to see if it takes a purple adaptor plugin. If so you might try it and I am srue you can return it if it doesn't work. You might also get in touch with the company that makes the adaotor and ask them. Good luck.

I was unable to fix this problem. I think this printer manufacturer is putting out a lot of defective units because some people love it and the rest of us hate it because it won't work. I sent it back and bought another brand that was basically the same printer, and this one works great...

I'm having the same problem, attempting to troubleshoot. Printer keeps going offline and the only fix seems to be uplug it and plug it back in.
