HP 2605dn laserjeft color: leak damage and printer Toner, cartridge toner 124 a

My yellow toner cartridge leaked all over my printer. I cleaned and replaced the toner cartridge, but now inks are very washed-out. Black is washed out and the color is really low. The white paper, where there should be no impression is now a light gray as if the black toner is very slightly printing.  Anyone know how I can fix this problem? I ran the demo sheet and recalibrated, but nothing has changed.  The printer works fine otherwise.

Otherwise, if it is something that can not be repaired, are there other printers using the 124 a toner cartridges? I have two sets over black and color toner cartridges and would like to be able to use them if the printing problem is not repairable.

Hello

It can be expensive to repair an out of warranty and in some cases unit, it is easier to replace the defective unit.  Your 2605 seems to have internal contamination to the printer which affects the PQ print quality.  If you decide to buy a new HP printer, try a search on the web for HP retail and trade upwards to see if there is a reduction which will apply.  I understand the question and from my experience, it is not a simple not an economical way to fix the printer.

Kind regards

  • color for web and print profiles

    Hello

    I'm editing photos from my digital SLR. They were shot as jpg in Adobe RGB. I'm editing photos for both web and print right now and I was wondering if there is a way to do so that I would be able to change for both at the same time in the process of Photoshop.

    Here are the details for what I usually do:

    For printing, I would work in AdobeRGB photos while the check option has the working CMYK value (usually SWOP, depending on which printer I use). Then I would flatten the work, resize and sharpen and change the color to CMYK mode, save as TIFF.

    For the web, I used to edit while RGB color settings are defined in sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1 and verification is set to RGB monitor. I flattened, resize and sharpen and save for Web.

    Is it possible that I can edit a single photo (shot in Adobe RGB) so that they can be used for BOTH print and web? I know CMYK or RGB would mean they would end in search of different end, but is be possible that I can have a single Photoshop file for the photo and go through the steps needed to make it ready for printing and for the web... or because of the color profiles and linguistic verification options , there is nothing I can do but to edit each photo twice?

    Thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to help.

    First of all I suggest you just started shooting RAW not Jpeg.

    then personally I work in AdobeRGB. I place my PSD AdobeRGB in ID and the CMYK conversion is done when I do my PDF. for web work I convert to sRGB when I use save for Web. Do not use your monitor profile color proof for the web like that you have the correct monitor profile.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8630: how to install additional color on the 8630 printer cartridges

    I just bought an Officejet Pro 8630 with additional color print cartridges.  I went through the instructions but I do not understand where they tell me to insert additional color cartridges.  I've looked everywhere but I still can't find where they need to be installed.  I installed the original color of 3 and 1 black cartridge supplied with the printer in the tray as shown, but when he got to the extra, I'm lost.  I can't find the instructions to install these additional color cartridges anywhere.

    Hello

    You cannot install additional color cartridges, the printer uses 4 ink cartridges (black, yellow, Magenta and Cyan).

    Additional color cartridges included in the box are intended for future use, once the original ink cartridges is exhausted.

    Kind regards

  • Photosmart HP 6520 - print in color, not black and white

    I have had this printer for some time and configure options so that it used only the black cartridge unless I put it specifically to do otherwise when I wanted to color.  It worked well and I could switch between black and white and color very easily.  A few weeks ago, the printer started to ignore the options I would set and printed in color.  I double checked the parameters, and the printer is always set up for black and white, but now it completely ignores and still print in color.

    I tried the settings at the time of printing, and that indicates that the image in black and white, it still prints in color.

    I haven't added any software or made any changes to my pc.

    Can someone help me with this, please?

    Hi Lulu and thank you for the reply!

    I suggest to download and run the HP print and Scan doctor.  Once you have run the tool successfully, try again the configuration in black and white.

    Please let me know the results.

  • How can I get my photos from Windows Gallery to view and print in color, not just black and white?

    How can I get my Windows Gallery pictures to view and print in chiputa, not just black and white?

    Hi Petergrossman,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

    I need few details about the question you posted.

    * What are the name and model of the printer?
    * You receive driver updates for your printer through Windows Update?
    * The printer prints the other applications in color?

    In the meantime, try the following steps.
     
    1. try to print the default pictures in Windows Photo Gallery and check if you get a printing color.
     
    2. try to uninstall the printer driver and reinstall it.

    Also check the setting of the color of the printer. Go to printer settings and make sure that you have selected the option to color.

    To print a picture, follow these steps: -.

    If you have a printer connected to your computer, you can make prints of digital photos. The quality of your photos depends on several factors, including the type of printer paper, ink and the settings of the printer of your choice. You can control many of these settings when you print the picture, but keep in mind that the overall quality and resolution of the digital picture you are printing will affect your final result.

    1. open Windows Photo Gallery by clicking on the Start button, all programs, and then clicking Windows Photo Gallery.

    2. click on the image you want to print.

    To select more than one picture, hold down the CTRL key while you click the pictures that you want to select.

    3. on the toolbar, click on print and then click on print.

    4. in the print pictures dialog box, select the printer, paper size, qualite quality print, style print and number of copies to print.

    5. When you have finished choosing how you want to print your photos, click Print to start printing.

    Choose printing options follow these steps: -.

    Before you send a print job to the printer, decide if you want to print all or part of the document or Web page. You may, for example, annotate the pages to print or select a part of a document before sending it to the printer.

    Here are common printing tasks to consider:

    1. to print that a hollering part of a document or a file, make a note of the page numbers for each page you want to print.
    2. If you want to print part of a page or a Web page only, select the content to print before printing.
    3. If you want to print a specific page, click anywhere on the page before choosing the print options for the document.
    4. the page that you clicked becomes the current page and you can print it by selecting this option in the print dialog box.

    After deciding what to print, choose how the print copies should look, and then select a printer.
    Use print preview

    To see what the print will look like before you print it, open the document in a program that offers a preview before printing. Print preview is generally located in the file menu of a program. You should be able to get an overview of each page of the document. In some programs, you can choose print in preview mode options and then print directly from the preview. In other programs, you will need to close the preview, change the document or your printer settings and print.

    If you preview or print a document, and it does not appear the way that you intended, you will need to change the document or change your print options. For example, if one part of your document fits on the printed page, you may need to reduce the font size, reduce the margins, or change the page layout and then try to print again.

  • Photosmart 6520: Photosmart 6520 does not print the new colors yellow, magenta and cyan

    I installed new cartridges 364 original color and now the printer prints everything in black and white only.

    Before replacing the cartridges I printed black and white stuff (because the cartridges were low).

    I have installed new drivers, it off for a minute, restarted.
    I cleaned up and align the cartridges.

    White are not dry, as I tested al with tissue.

    All of this happened less than a month after the expiration of the warranty.

    In properties, grayscale printing is turned off.

    What could be the problem?

    Well - he started working by itself after some 5 to 6 hours. All tests and diagnoses before that said nothing wrong, but the colors were simply not print at all. Then, as this, the print quality diagnostics showed color.

    In http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03318187 step 2 tips you allow auto maintenance to complete. I suggest now just let it meditate and heal itself and do not even try the other troubleshooting steps discount. However, the few hours suggested could be more than a little. I've almost exhausted my black cartridge when running all the other tests and diagnostics, and now I'm waiting for a new... Once I get it, I'll put it in, and then let the sit of the printer for 4 to 6 hours just to settle. I hope that's enough. And then, finally, I might be able to print my document.

    Would be nice, if this problem was mentioned in the cartridge installation instructions.

    First thing you should check is the print settings in the driver.  You must ensure that the driver know that you want to print in color and black and white only.

    To check/change the settings of your printer driver:

    1. From the desktop, click the Start button.
    2. Click on Control Panel.
    3. Find printers and fax machines.
    4. Once your in the folder printers and faxes, find your printer.
    5. Right click on your printer.
    6. Click on Preferences.

    Now you should be in the area to check the layout and paper/quality settings.  Make sure it is set to print in color.  Don't forget to look through the advanced options.  Make sure that it is located and let me know what happens.

  • Photosmart C8180 All-in-one: not able to print colors light magenta and magenta

    I bought photosmart c8180 about 3 years as a spare printer. I set up and printed a few pages. A printer was perfectly fine.  Last week, I decided to use this printer. When I tried to print, color photos are released totally foires.  I used the tools-alignment option and received a message that alignment was successful.  A printed page has rectangular bars at the end of the page and a magenta bar as well. He also printed two birds with some magenta color. For me, it's proof that the printer can use magenta colors. However, a self-test page came out without any of the magenta color. Under the color of the light magenta and magenta stars boxes were missing.

    I look at the Forum and find out that some people had the same problem.  It dates back to the years of 2011. There are several experts HP answers to how to solve this particular problem.  However, even if it is from 2011 tread has been always open because these so-called 'experts' were not useful. I tried all - they do not help us.

    I called technical support and representatives of hp told me that they cant't help me because this model is discontinued. They also surprised me a bit telling me to throw this printer.  If this is the best solution for this problem of ink for 8100 Series, then, please confirm as an expert. The thead element has been open since 2011 and I don't know that it's time to shut it down.

    Please, answer

    Hello

    Because the printer is out of warranty, technical support may provide you option to get an improved printer (a different model) with a little low prices.

    There is a problem with the printhead (ink delivery system) that cannot be repaired.

  • I'm getting white gaps between the black contour lines and color fill on laser printer

    I'm getting white gaps between the black contour lines and color fill on laser printer

    You're welcome, Calotypist.

    Illy prefer PostScript because it gives you a reliable/complete (more) reproduction (depending on the version, you can also see (more) complete print failure).

    With a PDF basically tell you the printer where to put the points/tasks. Without it, the printer (pilot) has to figure (some) outside.

    If you can get one for the printer in question, a printer PostScript (emulation) driver will leave you direct printing.

  • HP Vivera Photosmart 3210: EXPIRY of the INK. can buy black ink only and print n & B with the range of printers hp Vivera 3210?

    all ink has expired. can I buy only black ink and print n & b with hp Vivera printer, photosmart 3210 all-in-one

    and black and white printing only with color expired ink in there?

    Hi @peanut7949,

    I believe, with this model, you can continue printing with inks has expired. That being said, if you replace only the black ink and continue to print with others (expired), it should be fine.

    Here's what I could find on the subject:

    Each ink cartridge has an expiration date to protect the printing system and ensure a good quality ink. The cartridge expiration date appears on line 53 of the free test report.

  • OfficeJet 6000 E609n: One color (black) does not print

    Background the color black does not print.
    Background page printed from the printer status indicates that there is no black ink. This impression has said that there is sufficient (at least 20%) supply of three coloured inks. Per the comment above, no black printing does appear on the page printed of the status of the printer, even if the black cartridge has been rather recently installed (2015-12-24).
    Background none of the four "low ink" lights on the printer are turned on.
    Background the State indicated by the HP Solution Center utility displays a green check mark, that is to say, that everything is OK.
    Background the "estimated ink levels" in the utility HP Solution Center indicate that the black ink cartridge is about 60% full.
    Background I've done the first of these two cleaning procedures to clean the print head. It produces no change. (In fact twice.)
    Background I removed the power cord to the printer and unplugged the power cord from the source and then wait 10 seconds. Then I reconnected things together. Nothing has changed.
    Background I cleaned the vent for the black cartridge.
    Background I replaced the black cartridge. The level indicated on the "Estimated ink levels" in the HP Solution Center utility now indicate that the black ink cartridge is 100% full.  No change.

    Background now, I think that the problem may be the print head.  I am discouraged.

    Any suggestions?

    Hi @Upper_Left,

    It seems as if the HP product registration service is temporarily unavailable.

    Normally you get invited to register immediately after installation is complete.

    It's a Web page that can help you know if the printer is listed, or as aid re-register once the number of available service - Registration Question Index.

    The term of defective kernel is used which means that the defective part you are replacing is the same part that you send back.

    When you select the option to change the replacement part is usually repaired or refurbished, is why there is such a difference in price between the parties. It seems that if the defective part is not returned within the specified time. 'faulty base tax' is loaded.

    I can't say for sure 100% that the problem will be resolved to the replacement printhead. If the printer was in warranty, it would be the normal order of operations.

    Please click the "accept as Solution" and the "thumbs up" button up on top of my first response above and other similar issues may find the easiest solution.
     
    Thank you!
