Bleeding colors in printout

If the ink is spreading on the page or colors are blending together, try the following:

Check the print settings

￿Some paper type settings (such as Transparency Films and Photo Papers) and print quality settings (such as Best) require more ink than others. Choose different print settings in the printer driver. Also, make sure that you have selected the correct media type in the printer driver. Selecting the wrong media type causes the wrong amount of ink to be used on the media.

￿Check that the media is printed on the print side.

Check the print cartridges

￿Make sure the print cartridges have not been tampered with. Refilling processes and the use of incompatible inks can disrupt the intricate printing system and result in reduced print quality and damage to the printer. HP does not guarantee or support refilled print cartridges.

For information on ordering HP accessories, see HP Supplies and Accessories.

￿The print cartridges need to be aligned when a print cartridge is replaced. You can align the print cartridges from the printer driver or the Toolbox. For instructions, see Aligning the print cartridges.

Colors do not line up properly

Check the print cartridges

￿The print cartridges need to be aligned when a print cartridge is replaced. You can align the print cartridges from the printer driver or the Toolbox. For instructions, see Aligning the print cartridges.

Check the graphics placement

￿Use the zoom or print preview feature of your software to check for gaps in the placement of graphics on the page.

If printing using a single print cartridge

If one of your print cartridges runs out of ink before you can replace it, you can still print with a single print cartridge.

Printing with one print cartridge may be slower, and colors will differ from those when both print cartridges are installed. It is recommended to install both print cartridges. For more information, see Single-cartridge printing
