Use a different brand of paper
Each paper brand accepts ink differently and prints with color variations. If you are printing photos or other
high-quality images, for best results use Lexmark PerfectFinish Photo Paper or Lexmark Photo Paper. Do not use
Lexmark Premium Photo Paper. Your print cartridges are not compatible with this type of paper.
Check paper condition
Use only new, unwrinkled paper.
