Fix print quality issues
NOTE: To protect the cartridges from drying out, always turn the printer o using the Power button.
To improve print quality (Windows)
1. Make sure you are using original HP cartridges.
2. Check the paper type.
For best print quality, use high quality HP paper, or papers that adhere to the ColorLok® standard. For more
information, see Paper basics on page 23.
Always make sure the paper you are printing on is at. For best results when printing images, use HP
Advanced Photo Paper.
Store specialty paper in its original packaging inside a resealable plastic bag on a at surface in a cool, dry
place. When you are ready to print, remove only the paper you plan to use immediately. When you have
nished printing, return any unused photo paper to the plastic bag. This prevents the photo paper from
curling.
3. Check the printer software to make sure you have selected the appropriate paper type from the Media
drop-down list and print quality from the Quality Settings drop-down list.
In the printer software, click Print & Scan , and then click Set Preferences to access the print properties.
4. Check the estimated ink levels to determine if the cartridges are low on ink.
For more information, see Check the estimated ink levels on page 56. If the cartridges are low on ink
consider replacing them.
5. Align the cartridges.
