UNSOLVED
Printing is faint
I have a V313w printer. Until now I have been able to print beautiful photos and perfect documents. Now the color is faint; started with just the colored prints, now black and white as well. I've done the printerhead deep cleaning, alignment, and new ink cartridges. Called Dell support yesterday, but their solution was to use photo ink when printing colored photos. I haven't done that in the past, and this problem isn't just with photos. Any suggestions?

diaquilt,
Sounds like your cartridges are slowly drying up.
You can try...

Before reseating the cartridges, shake them to dislodge anything in them, like the sensor.
