Hi
So as many of you people know I tired to refill my cartridges and all of sudden I got messed up colors. After countless tries I could not get it working so I popped in a new gunuine cannon ink cartridge. Did a deep clean and called it a day.
Now I printed today a purge sheet and guess what the color is messed up again........ This is make me very concerned since even with a regualar cart it still is not working and I know I will get the blame for this one lol.
The printer is about 4 years old and still using the orignal print head so I don't know if the ink itself screwed it up or what is happening but since it happened at this time people will point at the ink as causing the problem. I don't understand what is happening since I did refill black too and it works. Like I see some lines in black too after every couple blocks(a darker black line) but I am not sure if that is normal or what.
So now I took out the part where the ink cartidge was held and am looking at that trying to see what is wrong with it.
The precision ink says I should flush this out with water but I am kinda scared to do this since I might even make it worse and ruin it even more.
So I don't know what to do anymore.
I will be posting some pics up in a couple mins(I have to use my laptop cam to take them since thats all what I got)

All of these where taken with a laptop cam so I tried my best but there not the greatest. All the purge images are of the same purge test print(I only did one).

u can notice with the black there are some lines and they are still there
After a clean cycle with the genuine cart I still see some streaks in the magenta they look orange(can't get a good enough shot to show you guys).
