Troubleshooting
Printer not recognizing the new cyan cartridge
Ensure the cartridge is correctly installed and fully seated. Check that all protective seals have been removed. Try powering the printer off and then on again. If the issue persists, verify the cartridge model is compatible with your printer.
Cyan print quality is poor (streaky, faded, or missing)
Perform a print head cleaning cycle through your printer's maintenance menu. Ensure the cyan ink level is not critically low. Check the cartridge for any visible damage or blockages. Run a nozzle check pattern to identify specific issues.
Printer displays 'Ink Low' or 'Ink Empty' warning prematurely
This can sometimes occur with genuine cartridges if the printer's internal counter has not reset correctly. Try restarting the printer. If the issue continues and the prints are visibly poor, a replacement may be needed.
