Whenever you notice this problem, cancel the printing job immediately. Press the Cancel key and also
cancel the job from your computer application. Soaked paper can damage the printheads.
Try the following suggestions to avoid this problem:
1. Check that the paper type you have loaded corresponds to the paper type selected in the front
panel and in your software. To check on the front panel, use the View information key .
2. Use a recommended paper type (see Order paper on page 39 ) and the correct print settings.
3. Try changing to a thicker paper type, such as HP Heavyweight Coated Paper and HP Super
Heavyweight Plus Matte Paper.
4. Select a paper type that is slightly thinner than the paper you have loaded; this will persuade the
printer to use less ink. Here are some example paper types in ascending order of thickness: Plain
Paper, Coated Paper, Heavyweight Coated Paper, Super Heavyweight Plus Matte Paper.
5. Try to increase the margins by relocating the image to the center of the page using your software
application.
Black ink comes off when you touch the print
This problem may be caused by printing with matte black ink on glossy paper. The printer will not use
matte black ink if it knows that the paper will not retain it. To be sure of avoiding matte black ink, you
can select Photo Glossy Paper as the paper type (in the Photo Paper category).
Vertical lines of different colors
If your print has vertical bands of different colors along it:
1. Try using thicker paper, choosing from the recommended paper types such as HP Heavyweight
Coated Paper and HP Super Heavyweight Paper. See Order paper on page 39 .
2. Try using higher print-quality settings (see Print options on page 77 ). For instance, if you have set
the Print Quality slider to Speed, try setting it to Quality.
