1. Check that you are using appropriate print-quality settings. See Printing on page 52 .
2. Reseat the printheads by removing them and then reinserting them. See Remove a printhead
on page 129 and Insert a printhead on page 132 .

Lines are blurred
Humidity can cause ink to soak into the paper, making the lines blurred and fuzzy. Try the following:
1. Check that your environmental conditions (temperature, humidity) are suitable for high-quality
printing. See Environmental specifications on page 208 .
2. Check that the paper type selected in the front panel is the same as the paper type you are using.
See View information about the paper on page 46 .
3. Try changing to a heavier paper type, such as HP Heavyweight Coated Paper or 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. If you are using glossy paper, try changing to a different type of glossy paper.
6. Align the printheads. See Align the printheads on page 186 .
