Canon Pixma Pro10

[Tim Stapp]

Does ink ever go "stale?" I replaced all of the cartridges in my Pro-10 and now on all of my prints the colors are "wonky."

The cartridges have been stored approximately 8-12 months in my desk drawer.

Usually print from Lightroom

Did you shake them vigorously before installing them?
Pigments settle out after an extended period of time.

The printer does an "agitation routine" each time it powers up or a cartridge is changed out.

The printer does an "agitation routine" each time it powers up or a cartridge is changed out.

But it may not be sufficient for a cartridge stored for an extended period of time.
Take them out, shake for 3 to 5 minutes, reinstall and test.

I finally got back to this. As recommended, I pulled each cartridge out and gave it a good shake. I noticed that the Cyan cartridge had not been printing. After the good shake and reinsertion, prints came out as expected. Thanks Shutterfinger for your help and suggestions.
