Streak marks
Clean the service station at least once a week, depending on the printing
frequency (see 'Printer maintenance and storage' on page 71).
Prime, clean, calibrate, or replace cartridges.
Line drawings bleed
Be sure you are printing on the coated side of the media. Load cut sheet
media so that the notch is on the side closest to the carriage. Load roll feed
media so the coated side is on the outside.
If your application software permits, use gamma correction to lighten
colours.
Too much air may have been drawn into the cartridge during extended
operation. Add 5 ml of ink and reinstall the cartridge.
Colours print as monochrome
Check that you have set the Colour/Mono mode to Colour. To change a
specific drawing from monochrome to colour or vice versa, you must switch
the Colour/Mono setting and re-send the file.
Ink smears after removing the print
Make sure that the ink is dry before removing the print. If you are printing
area fills, set the Dry Time option (see 'Setting the dry time' on page 63).
Turn the dryer on.
Smudged or dark characters
Make sure that you are using the correct type of paper for the application.
Make sure that the paper is straight and unwrinkled when loading it into the
printer.
Prime, clean, calibrate, or replace cartridges.
Try a different print mode.
Improperly formed or misaligned characters
Calibrate cartridges.
Colour problems or shadowing
Calibrate cartridges.
