First:
I have
-powercycled
-run all of the cleaning options multiple times
-changed out all of the ink cartridges(such as waste) to Brother cartridges.
-checked all of the settings for eco, save ink, etc.
- exported what I’m trying to print as different types- pdf rbg, pdf cmyk, jpeg, png
I really don’t think this is hardware since it happened exactly after I updated.
I was trying to print some Avery labels and they just weren’t coming out aligned. I did some research on that and found that other people had updated drivers on their computer or reinstalled the printer like it was new and that fixed it. Woila! It did! They were now better(not perfect) aligned. Of note(that I noticed later and subsequently fixed): when I reinstalled, I left the original one.. I had hoped that that was the issue but nothing changed after I got rid of the original install.
So while the labels were now better aligned- everything prints faintly. The whole thing, not one color.
It’s got to be one setting or something super simple but I’m at a loss.
Anyone run into this?
TIA
