Symptom
The printed
pictures are
inferior in
quality.
Check
• Did you allow dust
to get on the print
cartridge?
• Did you allow dust
or finger prints to
get on the printed
surface?
• Did you use used
print paper?
• Did you shoot an
image in the RAW
file format?
• Did you use an
AdobeRGB-
compliant digital
camera, not
compatible with
the DCF 2.0, to
shoot an image in
the AdobeRGB
mode?
Cause/Solutions
c Wipe the plastic part of the print cartridge and
remove dust.
c Do not touch the printing surface (the
shiny-side with no imprint). Fingerprints on the
printing surface may result in imperfect
printing.
c Do not print on used print paper. Printing an
image twice on the same paper will not make
the printed image thicker.
c When you shoot an image in the RAW file
format, a highly-compressed JPEG file may be
also recorded. As the printer does not support
the RAW file format, it may use the JPEG file to
print an image. A RAW file can be printed
from a PC. For details, see the operating
instructions of the digital camera you are using.
What is a RAW file?
A RAW file is an original image file format to
save uncompressed, unprocessed still image
data captured from a digital camera.
For whether or not a digital camera can capture
an image in the RAW file format, see the
operating instructions of the digital camera.
c An AdobeRGB image file that supports the DCF
2.0 will undergo color corrections, but an
AdobeRGB image file that does not support the
DCF 2.0 will be printed in vague colors without
color corrections.
What is an AdobeRGB?
An AdobeRGB is a color space that the Adobe
System Incorporated employs and uses as the
default setting for image processing software
including the Adobe Photoshop. The
AdobeRGB, an optional color space extended
with the DCF 2.0, determines the color ranges
widely used in printing industry.
For whether or not a digital camera supports
the AdobeRGB, see the operating instructions of
the digital camera.
