Not printing red

Hi, my Photo eStation is not printing Red despite the fact that all
cartridges are new or over 75%. They are all HP branded.
red shows as yellow, blue is more turquoise?
Any ideas, the colour quality is really poor.
Printer is under 3 months old.

  • Why will my HP Photosmart C5100 not print red or pink?

    Photosmart C5100  stopped printing reds, pink, or magenta.  It worked fine earlier

    Hello lwilkin,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having some printing issues when attempting to print in colour.
    I do have a few steps that we can try.
    First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    I have also located a document that deals with when the Printer Prints a Blank Page or Does Not Print Black or Color Ink for the HP Photosmart 5520 and Des....
    Write me back and let me know how you made out.  If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.

  • HP printer (I know) not printing red using OSX 10.8.4

    My HP Photosmart C5180 All-in-One Printer was finally recognised by my new iMac.
    But it is not printing magenta or light magenta at all, although the cartridges are almost new, HP, and recognised in the "Ink delivery system Information" of the Self Test Diagnostic Page as having 71% and 80% ink levels.
    Is this likely to be a driver problem? Or two faulty cartridges? Or… one dead printer?

    Thank you for your sympathy.
    Well, I happened to have a spare brand new light magenta handy. So I tried that, with no result. So I'm provisionally eliminating the faulty cartridge explanation (although I notice they were all made in the same batch in Ireland).
    Then, thinking about the driver: the HP website turns out to be faulty! It took me to a download for C5180 and allowed me to choose my Mac OS, click 'Next' and … nothing. I wasted nearly half an hour trying to find a way round it, but no dice. I left a moan on their contact page, but I'm not holding my breath because in my experience, it *****. (Just saving the moderator a few seconds.)

  • How to print red color in plain paper?

    When printed on glossy papers, red color (in photo or text) looks great.
    When I print on non-photo, plain papers, red color came out brownish.
    I tried on premium ink jet papers, it does not print red but in brown color.
    How can I print red color in plain paper?

    When dealing with printing ink, R=100m+100y+0c+0k. What drives the color toward rust, maroon, and brown is the addition of c to the mix. That may be the result of the diffuse reflection of the uncoated paper surface, its absorb rate, the ink chemistry and – the light source. Since the easiest variable to test is the light source, look at that color using a source weak in blue emission, incandescent light, and watch the red shift. Remember also that the reflected color will never be as bright as paper it is printed on. Each ink film is a filter subtracting light from the paper reflection.  
    Shown above (with a mode change to RGB for the purpose of this display) is its version of 100 each of m+ y  and a patch with the unwanted c

  • Printing problem - HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-in-One Printer, Red color fads on 4th copy

    I have an HP HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-in-One Printer, and am trying to print 75 copies of a program for our event. After the first 5-6 pages the RED in my program starts to turn magenta. I have brand new HP ink, and am printing on HP Color Injet Paper. I have renectly replaced the Black/Yellow printhead (at least 6 months ago). At first when I cleaned the printheads, I could print 2 or 3 pages showing my RED color. Then turns back to magenta. When I received the test patterns after cleaning the print heads they are all perfect with no lines.
    What is going on and how can I fix it?

    Hi TM1997,
    I understand you have an Officejet 8500 Wireless that is not printing red properly, it keeps turning to magenta. I'm sorry to hear this, but I will definitely do my best to help you!
    As I'm sure you saw, when replacing the black and yellow printhead, that there are two printheads in the Officejet 8500 and the second one controls the magenta and cyan. I would suggest that you first have a look through this Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues document. You can also manually clean your printhead with the steps in this 'The Following Printhead Appears to be Missing or Damaged' or 'The Following Printhead has a Problem... document.
    Hope this helps, have a great day!!

  • Officejet 6500A Plus Suddenly only prints red for most but not all occasions.

    In the middle of printing a report it switched to RED ink.  I bought and replaced black cartridge... though it still had ink. (NO SUCCESS)   It prints BLACK for copies, for documents on Pages (I Mac) and from wife's laptop that is connected.  SOMETIMES IT PRINTS BLACK when I click on PDF and Print.... but not all the time.  It ALWAYS PRINTS RED when I print an e mail.  No TROUBLESHOOTING suggestions seem to fit this irregular problem

    PDF's are typically send to the printer as graphics, which may cause them to be printed with the color cartridge rather than black.  If your cyan cartridge is low (or not working) the print will appear red.  To address cyan not printing properly the document here may help.
    Depending on your OS you may be able to set the printer to print in Grayscale and Black ink only.

  • Red laser toner not printing on MFP M476Nw

    Just bought a brand new HP Color Laserjet Pro MFP M476nw. Everything set up smooth as silk, but the red toner refuses to print. I have ran the print calibration several times but it doesn't print a calibration page. It says printing document but nothing comes out. What should I do next?

    Hi DCLEE,
    I am sorry to know that you are experiencing issues with your new HP product.
    This product has a internal calibration procedure, it does not print a page during or after calibration.
    Other than calibration page, are you able to print other documents from printer? where I understand that the printed pages are not having Red (Magenta) colored images.
    Try to print an engine test page and check if all 4 colors are being printed.

  • Red not printing correctly

    Hi, 
    The printer is aHP Officejet 6700 Premium.
    The red color is not printing correctly it is printing as a maroon colour. All other colours seem okay. No error messages are appearing.
    I have run the clean printhead pgm and no change.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Couple of things come to mind.
    First, obviously, make sure it is a Geniune HP cartridge. I have seen other ink that is a little off in color. 
    Second, make sure it has nothing to do with the paper you are using. Print a test page (if you haven't already) on normal white paper, not photo paper or something else. 
    Third, if you have a features tab in the printer preferences, make sure in the color management field, that it is not set on some custom color profile or application controlled setting.
    Hope that helps.

  • Color Laserjet 2600n: only red not printing properly, washed out on the left side

    Hello,
    Our HP2600 Color Laser printer does not print well whatever includes the color red. On a portrait layout the 2" from the left are washed out in red. We only use new HP cartridges, clean the machine regularly.
    Error happens with different computers, XP and OS 10.
    Machine is about 2.5 years old, estimated 100,000 pages have been printed on it.
    Thanks
    Su

    I have two 2600n color laserjet printers.
    One has color fading down the left hand side and I understand that this is due to dust accumulating on mirrors and laser.
    More worrying is that the second printer will not print the color red at all - it gives an orange output

  • Officejet 8610 Will Not Print Wirelessly

    I have a new 8610 and new computer with Windows 8.1.  The printer is generally turned off and on another floor of the house from where my computer is.  In the past, I could send a job to print, go downstairs, turn on the computer and the jobs would print.  This is not the case with the new equipment.  I see the documents in queue on the computer but they do not print when I turn on the printer.
    I specifically remember putting in the password for the wireless router when setting up the printer.  What can I do?

    Hi @marygme , and welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see you're running into connectivity issues.  I would like to help!
    I would recommend performing a power reset.  Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
    I would also recommend this document on Wireless printing center Troubleshooting Issues.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium will not print docs from computer, but will print a test page.

    HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium will not print docs from computer, but will print a test page.  I continually get a message that the computer cannot communicate with the printer.   Not only will it not print docs, it will not print web pages using IE 11 or Google Chrome.
    I've used Print and Scan Doctor, it always reports there are no issues and prints a test page even though I can't print anything else. 
    Each time I want to print, I must reboot the computer.  After reboot I have one chance to print.   This problem started February 15, 2015.  
    My operating system is Windows 8.1.   I have unintalled the HP software, rebooted, then reinstalled the software:
    OJ8500_A910_1315-1.exe
    HP Print and Scan Doctor - HPPSdr.exe
    HPSupportSolutionsFramework-11.51.0049.msi
    All versions were last downloaded on April 4, 2015.
    I have a home wireless network (Ubee DDW366 router).  All other devices in the house will print to the 8500A printer without issues:  2 Toshiba laptops, 2 Android phones, and 1FireHD.
    The desk top is installed with a Netgear Network card I don't know the model, but I had it tested by a PC Tech to confirm that the card is working.   The card and Windows 8.1 were installed on January 3, 2015.
    I have run virus scans and malware scans.  Each time they show there are no issues with my desktop.  What kind of desktop? Specifically made to my specs from store parts. . . no brand name computer.  ASUS Motherboard P6X580 Premium.  Now I will probably get hacked!
    I am at my wits end.  And it is frustrating when I need to make a print of something and the system locks up.  I often resort to screen printing to a word document to save in order to reboot. . . .but then I lose all sorts of capabilites when I salvage what I needed.  Also this is a time consumer.
    This printer has served us well for two years and I have expensive cartridges waiting; another two rounds of refills.
    Help?
    Addendum:  I can scan using HP Printer Assistance.  I open the HP Printer assistant, it "retrieves" info from the printer, then I select "scan a document or photo" and the printer responds.   I have no trouble with scanning.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus - Magenta Not Printing

    I have an HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus (A910), Model number CM756A, Serial number: [Moderator edited Serial Number] that is not printing magenta. 
    Firmware version: LRP1FN1231AR. Service ID 21057. IK Number 658.
    Software version: 028.000.1315.000. Printer Driver version: 09.84.00.1189
    The Printhead Status for all cartridges reports as "Good" in the Self Test Diagnostic Page.
    I have run a Print Quality Diagnostics and in Test Pattern 2 there is no red/magenta colored block appearing.
    I did not have any alert for low print quantity, however I replaced the Magenta inkcartridge with an HP Officejet 940XL new magenta ink cartridge (HP genuine) and still there is no Magenta printing.
    When I open the ink cartridge holder, the printer shows HP Model: A910g, HP Ink Cartridge 940.
    I have gone through this exercise several times, however the latest Magenta ink cartridge that I removed from the printer prior to replacing had the following information on it:  C4908A, 2016/05/22.  The newest cartridge I put in has a September 2017 expiration date (part number C4908A). 
    I am not getting any error messages or anything, there is just no Magenta being printed.
    First - I would like to know how to fix this issue with the HP printer.
    Second - is there anyway to get a refund for the ink cartridges I have had to use (and waste) trying to resolve this problem.
    Thank you.

  • Inkjet 3522 : Printer does not print any black content

    - Model : Inkjet 3522
    - Cartridge: 564 
    - Tried 3 cartridges, 1 was indicating low so I figured that was the problem in the first place so I got a new on swapped it carefully, didnt work. 
    - I tried all the tools ie. cleaning printhead/status report/quality report etc.
    - Printer picks up the cartridge and shows full
    - 1st few times it would just print faded lines of text you can barely read it
    - I did a status report just now and the Yellow/Blue/Red(pink) shows up but the section for black is just empty, won't even print the report. That was my 2nd cartridge brand new and I swapped it immediately following instructions, didnt let it sit or anything.
    - I got the printer about 3-4 months ago and any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    The document here may help resolve black not printing on your Deskjet 3522 printer.  Be sure to check the vents as described in solution three.
    Is your printer still in warranty? You can check with HP's warranty tool here.  If the printer is still in warranty and the above does not resolve the issue I would suggest you call HP for service.  In the US call 1-800-HPINVENt, elsewhere see the contact information here.

  • Printer not printing AND Matching Screen colors to Print colors.  Any advice is apreciated!!

    Hello - I have 2 questions regarding  printing to an Epson and also regarding the monitor colors Not matching the print colors working from Photoshop CS4 on a Mac with a Maverick [ 10.9.3 ] OS. My issues are Not about my own printers or software.  I have been tutoring a friend via phone in Photoshop; he has CS4 and is working on Mac OS 10.9.3.
    1- We found that he could print nearly fine [ nearly accurate colors ] from Lightroom on his computer, version 5.4.   But when he tries to print from Photoshop he cannot make a print.   There is clear communication between the computer and the printer, as, when he sent the file to print, the printer [ an Epson 3880 ] responded by automatically changing to Photo Black from Matte.  Then, it opens the rollers as if to print, but, it them stops and the menu [ on the Printer ] says 'Ready.'   The paper is 4x6” Moab Lasal paper 300gsm. This issue of Not printing is only with this Moab Lasal luster paper, for which he Does have the IIC profile, and we always make sure ‘Photoshop manages colors,’ not the printer. To address the issue of the printer Not printing at all using a non-Epson brand paper, we have tried seemingly everything from deleting and re-adding the printer from the Library / Printers, resetting everything [ printer   computer   software etc ], trying different settings in the Printer window and the Print Settings window. Including changing the media profile, platen gap, etc.
    2- My other and more important question is – after we Do get a print, we cannot match the monitor color to the print. [ We havE been able to get a print using Epson brand paper.   Which is odd because we have the ICC profiles for both papers ]. To address the color matching issue, he has told me he calibrated the monitor with a Spyder, and here are a few other variables that I can relay that may or may not be affecting his color-issues:
    He iS viewing his prints in a dayliglht-rated lighting environment
    The monitor is an iMac glossy finish monitor, not an anti-glare
    We tried working and printing from both an 8-bit and also a 16-bit color-space and also 16-bit printing
    The color shift is slightly but noticeably toward Magenta.
    His printer is Not calibrated
    Please let me know what else we can do, any known glitches that may be an issue with his older version of CS, any tips you can suggest.
    Thanks very much!

    I don't have that printer and I'm not on Mac, so someone else has to step in there. Generally a green/magenta cast indicates none/double printer color management. But then I don't know what you mean by "slight".
    The Spyders aren't the most consistent and reliable calibrators out there. I had a Spyder 3 sensor that I just threw away because it gave a distinct red cast (I have several other calibrators, so there was no doubt). Another potential problem is that with most calibrators you can only adjust the white point along the blue/yellow Kelvin scale, but not on the green/magenta scale. This is often necessary to get a good white point color. In this case you need to use the monitor's OSD controls, and if possible the "pre-calibration" function in the calibrator to measure and monitor it - if that function exists. And I don't know if this is possible with an iMac.
    This is basically a question of getting the white point right, both on the blue/yellow and the green/magenta axis (and luminance of course). The goal is to get a visual match to paper white on screen. With the white point properly set, neutral color balance relates to that, and the rest more or less follows by itself. (In addition you should set the proper black point/contrast for full control, but that's not the issue here).
