Thank you for your answer. The Ink cartridges are not the issue
unfortunately. They are fairly new. Also, it is ONLY in the envelope
feature
that this problem occurs. Labels print fine, and documents print fine. Any
other suggestions would be very appreciated. Thank you.

For reasons unknown, some inkjet printers seem to use a composite black
(made up of the inks in the color cartridge) instead of true black for
envelopes. The color you're getting suggests that your color cartridge
is
running low on one of its colors (presumably cyan).

Everytime I try to print an envelope in Word, it prints out in a
reddish
color. Even if I go in and manually change the font to black. My
Labels
will
print black, and my document prints black. Only my envelopes are
affected.
Help please.

I had the same problem when printing my envelopes. Replacing the color cartridge fixed the problem. Thanks Suzanne
