Printing Maintenance
When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors are Incorrect
When printing becomes faint or colors are incorrect, even if ink remains in the ink 
tanks, the print head nozzles are probably clogged. Follow the procedures below to 
clean the nozzles.

It may solve the problem.
See “Aligning the Print Head” on page 59.
• If ink tank replacement does not resolve the problem, the print head may be worn 
out. Contact a Canon service representative.
