My Brother 210 prints colors very well, but three new black print cartridges can't all be bad. I went through the on board cleaning process a number of times. same result..schechy print.
Thanks. I had cleaned the printheads but after cleaning them again 2 times, the problem was solved! Thank you! I was about to give up and buy a new printer!
