AMOI Are you using Canon ink or a third party?

I know on-line a sales technician (NOT employed by Canon <g>) who says the
majority of ink/color problems he encounters are due to using third party inks
and that this is especially true for Canon printers since they use a smaller
drop size than other printers so that the jets plug up more easily.

I don't know if your Canon uses combined ink/jet cartridges or tanks separate
from the jets but even if the latter and you changed back to Canon ink the
jets could be clogged. There are safe methods to try to clean them.

FWIW without knowing the background.
