If you still have a problem
If you still experience print-quality problems after applying the advice in this chapter, here are some further
things that you can do:
●
Try using a higher print-quality option. See
Printing on page 68.
●
Check the driver you are using to print with. If it is a non-HP driver, consult the driver vendor about the
problem. You could also try using the correct HP driver, if feasible. The latest HP drivers can be
downloaded from
http://www.hp.com/go/T2500/drivers.
●
If you are using a non-HP RIP, its settings may be incorrect. See the documentation that came with the
RIP.
