Improving print quality

If you are not satisfied with the print quality of a
document, make sure you:
• Use the appropriate paper for the document.
Use Lexmark Premium Photo Paper if you are
printing photos or other high-quality images.
• Use a paper that is a heavier weight, bright
white, or coated.
• Select a higher print quality.
If the document still does not have the print quality
you want, align the print cartridge.
