6. Color Matching - Change your Color Matching setting to Graphics or Photos via the
printer driver preferences.
7. Cartridge Setting - Change the cartridge setting in the driver. Try Color + Black or
Color only. To change the cartridge setting, right click on the printer in the Printers
and Faxes area - choose preferences -click cartridge - set it to Color + Black or Color.
Color only will still print black, but will use the color cartridges to print it. We
recommend "Color" only for the best possible quality on photographic images with
small amounts of black. If your image has large areas of black text, graphics or
barcodes, we recommend Color + Black for the best quality.
8. Source File Image Mode - The image mode of the source file may be set to RGB
instead of CMYK. This can cause the color matching to be off. Change the image
mode of the original file, resave and reprint.
9. Copper Contacts - Clean the copper contacts on the back of the print carriage and
the contacts on the printhead with rubbing alcohol.
10. Image Resolution (Dots per inch, DPI) - Try another Image. Perhaps the resolution
of the current image is not sufficient for a quality print. Many graphics suitable for
viewing onscreen have a DPI of 72. This is the minimum DPI for proper screen
display. However, if you print this image it will look blurry and pixilated. Images
that are 72 DPI are typically graphics saved for web use. We recommend a 300 DPI
image.
11. Cable - Try another USB cable. Make sure that it is less than 6ft (2 Meters) long.
Faulty cables or cables that are too long interrupt communications which can result
in print quality issues.
