Improving print quality

These are possible solutions. Try one or more of the following:

Check paper

Use the appropriate paper for the document. If you are printing photos or other high-quality images, for best
results use Lexmark Photo Paper or Lexmark PerfectFinish Photo Paper. Do not use Lexmark Premium Photo
Paper. Your print cartridges are not compatible with this type of paper.

Use a paper that is a heavier weight or bright white.
