The print head nozzles are
clogged.
Clean the print heads. See Chapter 5 for instructions.
The ICM (Windows 95) or

your document.

Intent setting (Macintosh). See Chapter 2 for more information.
The ink cartridges are low
on ink or one or more ink
colors are empty.

The colors displayed on
your monitor don’t match
the printed colors.
Because your monitor and printer use different technologies to
represent colors, your printed colors cannot exactly match the
colors you see on your monitor screen. Use the ICM (Windows 95)
or ColorSync (Macintosh) settings. See Chapter 2 for more
information.
The color settings in your
application software need
adjustment.
You may be able to adjust various color settings in your application
software. See your software documentation for more information.
