Brother Printer Trouble

[chanchan05]

I have a Brother DCP195C printer that has served me well. I recently had its printer head replaced last month at the service center because got broke and it was cheaper than buying a new one. Last week I printed a lot of pages. When I printed again this morning, the pictures were fuzzy. I used Print Check and this is the result.


*sorry for bad photo quality

But I guess it should be visible enough that the boxes for magenta aren't align. Any idea? Bad printer head? Or something that can be fixed?

whats your ink level at?

 

[chanchan05]

Levels are above 50% for all. Here's a better picture of the magenta problem.



As you can see, the boxes don't seem to be in the correct alignment.

Have you used the printers software to clean and align the print heads yet?

 

[chanchan05]

Tried it already. More boxes appeared but they still aren't aligned. Weirdly the others are perfectly aligned, except for magenta.

I think it's the fuser. How long have you had the printer?

 

[chanchan05]

Around 5 years. I tried running the cleaner again, and it appeared that the boxes lined up a bit better and more were visible. I'll try running it a few times again over a couple of days. I can print grey scales clearly though. LOL. Since most of my printing are just lecture notes I guess that'll do. I can look at my tablet for the pdf file when the file has a picture or something.

Ok. So cleaning didn't work. Any other ideas
