Solving print quality problems
If print quality is unsatisfactory, you may need to adjust your margin settings, choose a higher print
quality, align the print cartridges, or clean the nozzles.
The following topics can help you improve print quality.
Print is too dark or smudged
Make sure the paper is straight and not wrinkled.
Let the ink dry completely before handling the paper. You can also set extra time between
pages as they exit the printer. For help, see the entry “Wait for pages to dry” on page 8.
Make sure the paper type and paper size settings in the printer software match the paper
loaded in the printer. For help, see “Understanding the printer software” on page 6.
Make sure the print quality setting is appropriate for the paper type.
