Colors Are Uneven or Streaked

Cause
Make sure that the Media Type setting in the
Main sheet (windows) or the Quality & Media in
the pop-up menu of the Print dialog box
(Macintosh) matches that of the paper loaded in
the printer.
Especially if you are using plain paper to print
images with high intensity, the paper may absorb
too much ink and become wavy, causing paper
abrasion. In this case, reduce the Intensity
setting in the printer driver and try printing again.

Color/Intensity, and then click Set.
