If there are no defects on the print quality report, then there is nothing wrong with the
ink cartridges and ink system. Therefore, you do not need to replace the cartridges
or printhead. Recheck steps 1- 4 in this procedure.
Some additional things you can check include:
•
If the image is blurry or fuzzy, check the image resolution. Try using a higher
resolution image. If you are printing a photo or graphic, and the resolution is too
low, it will be fuzzy when printed.
If a digital photo or rasterized graphic has been resized, it can be blurry or fuzzy
when printed.
•
If the problem is a horizontal band of distortion at the bottom of photo prints, print
the photo with a high print quality setting, such as Best or Maximum dpi. You
can also try to rotate the photo 180 degrees in a software program to see if this
helps.
You might need to choose a lower print quality setting if colors are running into
each other. Or, choose a higher setting if you are printing a high-quality photo,
and then make sure photo paper such as HP Advanced Photo Paper is loaded in
the paper tray. For information on using the maximum dpi mode, see
•
Make sure the margin settings for the document do not exceed the printable area
of the product.
