Cartridge Cross
Contamination
Cross contamination of color inks results in
incorrect colors printed, as when green prints for
yellow, (when yellow and blue are mixed in the
print cartridge). This problem resolves quickly as
the print cartridge is used. If cross contamination
occurs, check:
• The maintenance station wiper for damage.
• The printhead nozzle plate was resealed with
tape.
