Are you printing a photograph or illustration that requires a large amount of
ink?
In the printer driver, set Print Quality to Fine. The Fine setting reduces the
tendency for ink to spread in printing colour documents that require large
amounts of ink, and reduces the tendency for ink to spread where black
areas are adjacent to coloured areas.
