iPF8400S Basic Guide
Cause
The type of paper specified in the

type loaded in the printer.

Colors in printed images are uneven

Cause
Line Drawing/Text is selected when printing
images in many solid colors.
You are printing on paper that curls easily.
Printed colors may be uneven if you set the
Print Quality too low.
Color may be uneven between dark and light
image areas.
When borderless printing is used, the edge of
the paper is cut during printing. Thus, ink
density may be slightly uneven at the leading
edges.
The Printhead is out of alignment.
Allowing printed documents to dry on top of
each other may cause uneven colors.
Density may be uneven if you use Glossy
Paper or Canon Coated Paper.
The type of paper specified in the printer driver
does not match the type loaded in the printer.
