Achieving better print quality

Improving print quality

If you are not satisfied with the print quality of a document, make sure you:

results use Lexmark Premium Photo Paper or Lexmark Photo Paper.

Use a paper that is a heavier weight or bright white.
•
Select a higher print quality.
If the document still does not have the print quality you want, follow these steps:
