I have a problem with my new printer.Today I noticed that it's blacks on photo paper weren't "real black".For example, I printed a photo of a man who was wearing a black jacket. when I look under some kind of lights his jacket looks greenish,it has green tint on the paper. Then I tried another photo, this time I scanned a professionally printed photo to my pc and then printed it but instead of a black jacket I saw a very dark blue jacket.
I cleaned the printer's printhead 3 times but it didn't change anything. I continued testing and noticed that if I print using a plain paper and select "plain paper" in the properties it prints blacks very good.And then I printed on a photo paper which is either matte or semi-glossy I am not sure but I chose "matte paper" in the properties tab and the printed blacks were fantastic.
I don't understand why it is not able to print black like blacks/deep blacks on glossy paper...
An update: Hmm, it printed the black line on this link very well on a glossy photo paper:

So it is able to print black nicely on a glossy paper but it didn't do it with the other 3 photos I tried...
