Title: photo prints out with a red tint
Post by: JAJsangel on January 31, 2010, 11:59:41 AM

my printer is an HP Deskjet 1500.

I had brand new ink cartridges when I started. first time I printed the photo I had the wrong setting so it ended up printing out small but it had the right colors.
now everytime it prints, it prints the right size but it has a red tint to it.

I've tried running diagnostic page and had the cartridges cleaned.

I tried using Microsoft Office picture manager to autocorrect it and renamed it to a jpg file.


now that I've done a few sheets on this one photo my color cartridge has now only a little more than half left but that should be enough right? there's plenty of black left still btw.

I've never used this printer before for photos btw and I was able to print photos perfectly with the one I had before..so I'm kinda thinking it's the printer but idk.

Have you contacted the manufacturer of the ink cartridges? Also what type of ink cartridge is it
?
