blurred on back print film or other kinds of
paper when you select a high resolution (such
as 720 x 720 dpi), select Photographic
Quality as Print Quality in the Quality dialog
box/tab. If black ink is still blurred, try to
increase the brightness of black in the
Graphics dialog box or Graphics & Color tab.

optimum print quality.

selected. If it is not selected, see your
application’s printing option settings. If there
is a color printing option, make sure it is
enabled.
