Why is my printer not printing true to color?
My printer is a HP 1100 Series Inkjet printer and the color cartridges are 2 to 3 years old. They are the original cartridges; could that be the reason for the colors not being true?
The color cartridges are so old some of the colors have probably already dried out.
There is a use-by date on the hp cartridges, usually abt 2 yrs from the date you buy it.
Yep!!
Usually when the color or colors get real low you start getting erratic hues of colors.

If the cartridges are old that would be a reason it is not printing true to colour.
When is the last time you cleaned the printer heads on your printer? If the heads get dirty or smudged that also can cause the printer not to print true to colour.
