No Printing Defects Found in the Image Quality Print
If all the test patterns from the Image Quality Print are correct and you still
experience print quality problems, here are some of the more likely causes to check:
n the print mode used in your printer is incorrect (this is defined by the printer’s
front-panel menu selections)
n non-HP driver
n the RIP (If you are using one)
n the software applications you are using.
