Ok, so I ran some prints today finally, black prints come out awesome! Clean and sharp.

Colors how ever , come out faded, and not sharp at all. Even with vector files I can't get them correct. Blue is the worse. ANything I should be looking for??? All cartridges have ink in them so I don't know whats going on. And teh color is being printed at extremely high DPI

Nozzle CHeck is perfect. No break in patterns at all.

Actually now, the yellow doesnt print out at all during the nozzle check...its got ink in it, i reprimed the cartridge, cleaned the head...but nothing...

Check that you didn't lock your capping station in a down position by mistake. Take your finger and push down very lightly on the edge of the capping station furthest in to the printer. You should feel a little spring action and it should lightly pop up when released.

Yeah I checked that, it wasn't locked in place. Im going to give it a really good cleaning and see hwo it goes.

Pretty sure there is some ink build up that is causing it to stick.
