HP C4435, C4485, C4472, C4440 Solution 1 Check the print settings, Solution 2 Check the paper type

Solution 1: Check the print settings

Solution: Check the print settings.

•Check the paper type setting to make sure it matches the type of paper loaded in the input tray.

•Check the quality setting. Use a higher quality setting to increase the amount of ink used for printing.

For more information, see:

•“Set the paper type for printing” on page 31

•“Change the print speed or quality” on page 32

•“Print using Maximum dpi” on page 39

•“Change copy speed or quality” on page 57

Cause: The paper type or print quality settings were set incorrectly. If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.

Solution 2: Check the paper type

Solution: HP recommends that you use HP papers or any other paper type that is appropriate for the product.

Always make sure the paper you are printing on is flat. For best results when printing images, use HP Advanced Photo Paper.

Store photo media in its original packaging inside a resealable plastic bag on a flat surface in a cool, dry place. When you are ready to print, remove only the paper you plan to use immediately. When you have finished printing, return any unused photo paper to the plastic bag. This will prevent the photo paper from curling.

NOTE: There is no problem with the ink supplies and replacing the print cartridges is unnecessary.

For more information, see:

•“Recommended papers for printing and copying” on page 18

•“Information on paper” on page 98

Cause: The wrong kind of paper was loaded in the input tray.

If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.

Solution 3: Make sure you are using genuine HP print cartridges

Solution: Check to see if your print cartridges are genuine HP print cartridges.

HP recommends that you use genuine HP print cartridges. Genuine HP print cartridges are designed and tested with HP printers to help you easily produce great results, time after time.
