Yellow Ink does not print

Hi,

I have a Brother MFC-420CN Printer. I recently installed new cartridges and after installing the cartridges, my printer has stopped printing yellow color. Anything that's yellow, font color or the yellow in photo - it prints that in pink or light magenta. I have installed the new original cartridges and spent over $100 on all four cartridges. Can anyone suggest a solution?

Thanks

Hi folks:

Thanks for all your comments. I cleaned the print head a couple dozen times and cleaned the nozzles as well, it didn't fix the problem. I finally was able to get the Brother Tech. Support and after doing some tests, they advised that the print head of my printer is damaged and needs to be repaired/replaced. The replacement would cost me about $100 to $150. I'd rather purchase a new printer at this price.

Buy a laser printer. B/W ones are cheap, the color ones will be a definite cost savings over time as the toner will last longer and cost less per print. I got a Minolta myself and it has a network connector (which I use at home)

Good luck and thanks for the points
