Ok I'm going to give my input basedd on my experience from working in a printing plant. The only color used during printing are red, blue, yellow and black. Now there was talk of ink running low. Yes that is the case here. The other factor is paper or card stock. Some paper will cause the ink to run. When ink doesn't show up it could be a lot of different things but the most common ones are either out of ink, low ink or that color tray was accidently turned off.
The best way to explain this by picturing four towers all with one of the above mention colors. These towers consist of rollers that feed the paper through and the ink. On one of the rollers is a plate that holds the image this is where paper and ink meet. The ink is rolled onto this plate then printed to the paper. Then it rolls to the next tower and the process is repeated until the complete image is on paper then it goes to a cutter where they are cut into the cards you get in the store.
Hope this clears somethings up.

You're dead on about the ink.
