Improving Print Quality
If your print quality is not as good as it used to be, if your photos are too light or faint,
or if you are missing colors in your prints, you may need to clean the PictureMate
print head. You can check to see if your print head needs cleaning before you actually
clean it. If you see misaligned vertical lines or dark or light banding, you may need to
align the print head.
Follow the steps in these sections to clean or align the print head using the
PictureMate buttons or the PictureMate software on your computer:
■ Cleaning the Print Head Directly from PictureMate
■ Aligning the Print Head Directly From PictureMate
■ Checking the Print Quality Using the Computer

Cleaning the Print Head Directly from PictureMate

nozzles may be clogged. Follow these steps to clean the print head.
