There are a couple possibilities.

First: what paper stock are you using? This makes a difference as they are not all chemically the same. I have an older Canon printer and it is not very tolerant of non-canon paper stock (although I've been using paper from red river paper and that has worked famously). So, that could potentially be an issue.

Second, how are the images being sent to the printer? from card or from your PC? This again speaks to the type of paper being used and the color profile the computer is using.There are others on this forum more knowledgeable with how printers handle color profiles and such. But, the paper stock is a good place to start.
