Achieving better print quality
Improving print quality
If you are not satisfied with the print quality of a photo, make sure you:
•
Use the appropriate paper for the photo. For best results, use Lexmark Perfectfinish Photo Paper or Lexmark Photo
Paper.
Note: Do not use Lexmark Premium Photo Paper. Your print cartridge is not compatible with this type of paper.
•
Load the paper with the glossy or printable side facing you. (If you are not sure which side is the printable side,
see the instructions that came with the paper.)
•
Select Photo as the print quality.
Note: To prevent smudging or scratching, avoid touching the printed surface with your fingers or sharp objects. For
best results, remove each printed sheet individually from the paper exit tray, and allow the prints to dry at least 24
hours before stacking, displaying, or storing.
If the photo still does not have the print quality you want, follow these steps:
