Sounds like a bad original picture or monitor is off.

My monitor is plenty dark.
The phots show black backgrounds and all that.
I reduced the print size and printed thru Windows and it much looks
better but it's wallet size.
My camer may not have many pixels.
It's only 1 megapixel.

Brand new out ofthe box Pixma 1800 is making faded color prints.
There is no white lines or breaks on print test.
Everything is just weak and faded.
Black is good and solid.
Colors are there just very faded.
Nothing in manual about this.
Paper thickness lever is proper to the left.
Any ideas?
Bad brand new cartridge?

Thnx
