Improving print quality

If you are not satisfied with the print quality of
a document, make sure you:
•
Use the appropriate paper for the document.
Use premium photo paper if you are printing
photos or other high-quality images.
• Use a paper that is a heavier weight, bright
white, or coated.
•
Select a higher print quality.
If the document still does not have the print quality
you want, align the print cartridge.
