Why do my photos keep coming out `pink`

Neiliboy (Elite) posted this on Friday, 10th December 2004, 13:52

Easy tigers,

when i print photos out from my PC they keep coming out with a heavily pink tinge to it.

The camera is a sony P10
The PC is a Sony Vaoi running XP
The printer is an HP deskjet 890c - it even says it `includes Kodak Image Enhancements` on the front of it!

Anyone know what i`m doing wrong?

Neil

presuming the photos look ok on the PC, then its down to either the printer the ink or the paper.
I`d put my money on ink. How much ink is in the cartridge. If theyre full, then they may need cleaning.
Ive had similar with cheap refills too..

there should hopefully be a test print / clean nozzles etc selection in the printer utility as there are for epson printers (hopefully a test that just does a test pattern for each nozzle and not a full A4 print out).
So just do a test print and clean nozzles selection till the test shows all nozzles working okay
I`ve had photos appear in funny colours as I don`t use my printer that often and the nozzles block up.
