If you have a high-resolution image
If your image has a resolution greater than the rendering resolution (which you can see in the Custom Print
Quality Options box under Windows), print sharpness may be improved by selecting the Maximum Detail
option. This option is available only if you are printing on photo paper and you have selected Best print
quality.

In the driver dialog (Mac OS X Print dialog): select Custom instead of Standard print-quality options,
then check the Maximum Detail box.
●
On the Embedded Web Server's Submit Job page: select Basic settings > Print quality > Custom. Set
Quality level to Best, and Maximum detail to On.
●
Using the front panel: press
, then , then Setup > Printing preferences > Print quality >
Maximum detail.
NOTE: The Maximum Detail option results in slower printing with photo papers, but it does not increase the
amount of ink used.
If you have printhead problems
If your printheads have an excessive number of clogged nozzles (which may cause banding or white streaks
on your prints), print quality can be improved by selecting the More Passes option.
●
In the driver dialog (Mac OS X Print dialog): select custom instead of standard print-quality options,
then check the More Passes box.
●
On the Embedded Web Server's Submit Job page: select Basic settings > Print quality > Custom. Set
Quality level to Best, and More passes to Yes.
NOTE: The More Passes option results in slower printing, but it does not increase the amount of ink used.
TIP: Instead of using this option, consider using the Image Diagnostics Print to identify the printhead or
printheads that are causing the problem, and then clean or replace them. See
The Image Diagnostics Print
on page 196.
