My Printer Wont Print In Colour Properly

I have a canon ip1500 which has been great up until now.
It wont print in colour properly all the colours come out the wrong shade etc.... and really faint.
I have changed the ink carts both colour and black and nothing seems to fix it. I have deep cleaned over 20 times still nothing. I have done a print head check and that all seems ok except for the colour still comes out wrong.
Is there anything else that can be done or is it time for a new printer?

have you set it to quick print by any chance, this reduces the printing quality a lot and just a bit of adjustment might solve it.
