Achieving better print quality
Improving print quality
If you are not satisfied with the print quality of a document, make sure you:
• Use the appropriate paper for the document. Use Lexmark Premium Photo Paper if you are printing photos or
other high quality images.
• Use a paper that is a heavier weight, bright white, or coated.
• Select a higher print quality.
If the document still does not have the print quality you want, follow these steps:
1 Align the print cartridges. For more information, see “Aligning print cartridges” on page 71.
If print quality has not improved, continue to step 2.
2 Clean the print cartridge nozzles. For more information, see “Cleaning the print cartridge nozzles” on
page 72.
If print quality has not improved, continue to step 3.
3 Remove and reinsert the print cartridges. For more information, see “Removing a used print cartridge” on
page 69 and “Installing print cartridges” on page 70.
If print quality has not improved, continue to step 4.
4 Wipe the print nozzles and contacts. For more information, see “Wiping the print cartridge nozzles and contacts”
on page 72.
If print quality is still not satisfactory, replace the print cartridges. For more information, see “Ordering supplies”
