Colors in printed images are uneven

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.

Corrective Action

Printed colors may appear uneven on the leading edge of paper that is sus-
ceptible to curling. Select a stronger level in VacuumStrngth in the Con-
trol Panel menu to increase suction against the paper, or specify a leading
margin of 20 mm (0.79 in) or more.
(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.
(See "Giving Priority to Particular Graphic Elements and Colors for
Printing.")
→P.49
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.
(See "Giving Priority to Particular Graphic Elements and Colors for
Printing.")

Adjust the Printhead alignment.
(See "Automatic Adjustment to Straighten Lines and Colors (Head
Posi. Adj.).")

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 Feed Slot.")
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.
For heavyweight sheets or similar paper, execute Adj Far Ed Feed with the
Front Tray Guides raised. Also keep the Front Tray Guides raised during
printing.
Lower the Front Tray Guides when printing on paper other than heavy-
weight sheets.
