when printing photos on the highest quality setting the pictures are coming out over saturated, almost like a negative. the colour is ok on normal setting but the quality isn't good enough. I called canon and they said it sounds like it needs a new print head but it's £70-100 and I don't know if that's definitely the problem. it's costing me a fortune in ink and paper trying to work out what's wrong with it.
any ideas .....

Not got one of these, but I'd check:
1) Check the paper is suitable for photo printing;
2) Run the printhead cleaning procedure;
3) Run the printhead alignment procedure.

yeah, every conceivable option.
I've lost count of how many ink tanks (takes 6 at about £8 each) and paper (canon photo about £1 a sheet) I've got through, I could have probably bought a new printer with the amount I spent but it cost me £350 so where do you draw the line...
