printing problems

[wen2tap]

: does anyone have problems with printed photos bleeding black colour?:confused: I have noticed that I have several LO's that printed about 6 months (fine at time of print) ago have the black colour bleeding into surrounding colours.
Its only on ones that have a strong black area eg b/g is black or a very large concentration of the black. could this be something too do with Saturation ? has anyone had this experience? if so what did you do to correct. or more precisely what am I doing wrong:rolleyes:
Luckily I can reprint them but I dont want to if its going to happen again.
Im not having any other issue with other colours and the LO's are looking great except if it has large areas of black.....:confused:

Oh that would really frustrate me!
I haven't heard of this happening.......but I have heard that it's really important to have paper and ink that are the same brand as your printer. I would especially be careful about generic or refilled ink cartridges. Maybe you're already using the correct brand for your printer - just a thought.
