The printer prints in red instead of black.

It's a shame when you urgently need to print documents, and instead of black, text is printed, a photo in red. But it can all be solved. How? Now consider.

Why there is a problem with the color rendition?

Why does the printer print in red instead of black? A color inkjet printer is so simple because there are only 2 blocks in it: one with black, the other for color. In the color block there are mainly basic colors: purple, cyan, yellow. If failures occur in this compartment, then at the end all the text will be printed in red.

  1. All the variety of colors depends on the cartridge and tricolor. But the most basic color is black. If, nevertheless, you decide to use colored ones, then you need to let them through the outlets (nozzles). If the hole is clogged, then, of course, the paint can not get out and the device gives everything in red.
  2. That's not all. If the container lintels are damaged and the cartridge is incorrectly filled, the wrong ink may be used.
  3. The printer may print in red due to the nature of the color head. If the device has not been used for a long time, air enters the nozzle. Remains of ink may accidentally get into the print head and the next time you use it (when mixing different inks) it is absurd to get an unexpected color. In our case, for example, red.
  4. In some certain models, such as Epson, according to the manufacturer, this is due to a defective batch of ink. They can simply dry, because they are filled with water, if it evaporates, then they thicken and dry out.

There is another option when the color settings are changed and the palette set the wrong color in the triad. Or any color ended, and the printer replaces it with another.

Troubleshooting Options

Color profile in the printer helps to clearly convey color. When it fails, it may incorrectly convey the color gamut. To restore the settings, you need to replace the color correction to normal.If everything is fine, then the output of the photos will be as bright and contrasting as on the screen. A common problem is an empty cartridge. To solve this, you need to check the ink level. It is not necessary to open the printer, just look at the service utilities on the PC, navigation screen, LCD.

If this is not a problem, then you need to check the test print, nozzles and nozzles. Check if all tanks are filled with color? Fill all the empty compartments and try to print a couple of sheets.

Important! If all the cartridges are full of paint, but the color is the same, then it is necessary to replace it with a new color or add water to the old one.

If the ventilation holes are clogged, then you need to clean the print head, programmatically, by turning on the option, and the ventilation holes, they can be heavily clogged by hand. You can also try to clean the pump. You can fix the problem by pouring water or flushing liquid into the pad or try to carefully disassemble the apparatus. It is so simple and easy to solve such a nuisance. If it still could not be solved, then only the service center will help.
