• Faded colors or streaks – often caused by an almost empty cartridge or infrequent printing; replacing the cartridge and printing regularly helps.
• Printer not recognizing a cartridge – make sure the protective tape is removed and the cartridge is seated properly; if needed, gently clean the contacts.
