Overall Print Quality is Poor
If you notice that your print quality is uneven, too light, too dark, or there are lines in the print (banding),
try these solutions:
• Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if
necessary. If nozzles are still clogged after cleaning three times, perform a Powerful Cleaning. If
nozzles are still clogged, flush the ink tubes.
• Perform a print quality adjustment.
• Make sure your paper meets the specifications for your product.
• Make sure the paper is not wrinkled, folded, or bent.
• Make sure your ink bottles have not expired. For best results, use ink bottles before the expiration date
printed on the package.
• Shake the ink bottles before filling the ink tanks.
• Make sure you selected the correct Media Type setting in the printer driver that matches the paper
loaded in the printer.
• Compare the print result with the image on your computer screen. Since monitors and printers
produce colors differently, printed colors and screen colors do not always look the same.
