It could also be because you used a different paper the second time around.
Although the DJ series are "plain paper" printers, results vary according to
what kind of paper (brand name, weight, fiber content, finish, clay content,
etc.) you are using.

HP maintains a set of "standard test papers" that they use for new ink 
formulations and new printhead designs.  I'm not in a position to tell you what 
the "standard test papers" are, but I do know that HP insiders always preferred
Gilbert Bond, unless they could get some rare Japanese paper.
