    Your printer manual will have troubleshooting steps to follow for various printing issues. If you don't have the manual, you can download one. Most likely cause is the dye carrier has a problem... did you lose power, or shut off the printer in the middle of a print job?

    If the colors begin to print inconsistently, you can try to replace you ink cartridge before your printer instructs you to replace a cartridge.Generally speaking, this methods may improve color quality.

    If there's enough sublimation ink but your print seems to be missing a particular color, you probably have a clogged nozzle, so you'll need to clean your print head. If your print lacks shadows and contrast, the black ink cartridge is the likely culprit.

    Color quality can also suffer if ink cartridges have been in the printer for more than six months. Try swapping in a new cartridge. If your image looks psychedelic, make sure you haven't loaded an ink cartridge in the wrong color slot--most modern printers will warn you if this happens.

    Next time when you see this problem, you can try to find out the real reason and solve it with the methods i told you above.
