of a black-and-white photograph.
You may be printing the gray tones in
color mode. Color mode provides the
smoothest gradations, but may make
some hues noticeable. To eliminate
color hues from the gray tones, make
sure the Media Type setting matches
the paper you loaded (see page 26) and
try one of the following:
■ Select Black as the Ink setting (your
image may be grainier, with less
subtle gradations); see page 8
(Windows) or page 13 (Macintosh).
■ Leave Color as the Ink setting, but
clean and align your print head, as
described on page 49 and page 55.
■ If you scanned the image, make sure
you calibrated the color correctly
with your scanning software.
■ Create a color calibration profile with
a color management program to
improve the image’s color balance.
