Strange behaviour with aftermaket CL-581 cartridges

[pharmacist]

Recently I have bought a Canon TS701 printer to print on printable PVC ID-card, being unable to find a dedicated Epson ET-8550/P900 PVC-ID card tray (strangely enough the ET-18100 has one included). I also bought some Action (a Dutch discount shop that has multiple shops across Europe) Canon PGI-580/CLI-581 cartridges, for which I profiled the ink for my PVC-ID cards and some photo papers.

Strangely enough after a few days the prints are way off: it produces with a strong greenish cast, despite having profiled the ink/paper/printer combination. The nozzle check is always perfect:

But today I tried to print a test image on some cheap photo paper, which I have profiled previously. The first print has strong greenish hue (the image below), but after the first print the printer performed a small intermediate cleaning cycle and I printed the image again and bang: the colours are now OK....not sure what causes this strange behaviour. It looks like the cyan cartridge ink seems to concentrate after a few day of non-usage. I have never seen this before:

From what I can gather, these newer Canon printers don’t like compatible inks, it can cause an early retirement of the print head, try refilling with Canon bottled inks, I suppose that’s not what you wanted to hear..

It could be cartridges too or the ink inside these cartridges. I have ordered another aftermarket set of cartridges and will see how these will behave in the printer.
