RE: 870 Prints on glossy turn dark green

[Bob Schwartz <bob183@optonline.net>]

<x-charset iso-8859-1>I am having a similar problem. I have been getting great results with my 870
up until two days ago. I had made a couple of 8x10 prints of a picture of my
daughter and her fiancé that came out just great. Then my color ink
cartridge needed replacing. After I replaced it, I have tried 3 or 4 times
to make additional copies of the same picture, but now it always comes out
too light and with a greenish cast to the print. Anyone have any ideas? I
haven't changed anything except put in a brand new cartridge.
