Image Edges Are Blurred Or White Banding Occurs - Canon imagePROGRAF iPF750 MFP M40 User Manual

Cause
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 un-
even colors.
Density may be uneven if you use
Glossy Paper or Coated Paper.
The type of paper specified in the
printer driver does not match the
type loaded in the printer.
Scan Wait Time > Area in the
Control Panel menu is set to Lead-
ing edge.

Image edges are blurred or white banding occurs

Cause
The Platen suction is too strong.
The Printhead is set too high in the
Control Panel menu.

(See "Adjusting the Vacuum Strength (VacuumStrngth).")
Choose a higher level of Print Quality in the Advanced Settings of the printer
driver.
Printing in Draft or Standard mode is faster and consumes less ink than in
Highest or High modes, but the printing quality is lower.

ing.")

Select Unidirectional Printing in the Advanced Settings of the printer driver.
Specify No in Auto Cut in the printer driver before printing. In this case, the
paper can be printed without borders on the left and right sides only. Cut the
printed document ejected from the printer, and then use scissors or a cutting tool
to cut away the edges on the top and bottom.
Choose a higher level of Print Quality in the Advanced Settings of the printer
driver.

ing.")

To avoid uneven colors, we recommend drying each sheet separately.
In Advanced Settings of the printer driver, choose Highest or High in Print
Quality.
Load paper of the same type as you have specified in the printer driver.
(See "Loading Rolls in the Printer.")
(See "Loading Sheets in the Printer.")
Make sure the same type of paper is specified in the printer driver as you have
loaded in the printer.
1. Press the Stop button and stop printing.
2. Change the type of paper in the printer driver and try printing again.
When Scan Wait Time > Area is set to Leading edge, colors may be uneven
110–140 mm from the leading edge. (The position varies depending on the
Print Quality setting.)
In this case, select Scan Wait Time > Area > Entire area.
However, note that printing will now take longer.
