Anyway, up until today, changing the cartridge has always fixed this. But today it decided that it doesn't like the Magenta at all, so everything is coming out green. I've tried 3 brand new Magenta cartridges, and each time the printer recognises it, charges the ink, but doesn't use that colour when it prints. I've tried cleaning the print-heads, gone through all the menu settings, but nada. It is not playing ball.
Now I know it is Christmas, so the colour green is seasonal, but I just can't have green holly with no red berries !! Can anyone help? Please leave a comment or email me if you know any solution to this. I wish I'd stuck with HP now !!!
Right, back to business. It is Friday (thank goodness!) so there is a new release and freebie today at Stamp Fairy. Today's set is a real cutie set of Barry's Countdown to Christmas. Here is a card I've made using one of the digis from the newly released set (luckily printed before my printer started acting up). Isn't Barry adorable !
Please pop on over to Stamp Fairy to see the newly released digi images.
Don't forget there is a sale on too at the moment. It's a great time to stock up on all your favourite cuties.

A gorgeous card. I love the paper and Barry looks so cosy.
Sorry I can't help with the printer - I used to have a Lexmark wireless printer that seemed to eat printing ink, too, so I'm glad I'm back to my HP one (not wireless, but much more economical).

Great card. Sorry that I cannot help with your printer problems. I hope that you can get it fixed soon. Hugs, Carissa
Fantastic card Annette! I have got an "HP photosmart printer" and it is a disaster. It has been changed 3 times by HP because it is still in guarantee but it has been hell with all 3. Problems with the print heads , cartridges, prints horizontal lines across pictures . Would definitely stay away from this model. Not to mention how much paper I have wasted and how much ink it uses considering I never print on best quality!! I have not tried any other brands. I am on a look out for new printer myself.

Very cute card. Lovely image. Thanks for taking part at I ♥ Promarkers this week.
Sorry about your printer. What a bummer. I have always had Epson and I use JetTec inks in mine. If I were you, I'd contact Epson themselves. I've always found them very helpful if I've ever needed help. Although, thinking about it, if you're using compatible inks, they'll probably blame them anyway. Hope you get it sorted soon though.
This is great thanks for joining us at CCC xx Jan
