Poor Color Copies
My Canon MP 470 prints very good black print documents. No matter what I do, the color documents come out faded. I have replaced the cartridges many times. I am not printing photos, but documents. I have tried changing the color intensity settings. The print previews look fine, but the finished copies are weak.
