Paper-related copy and print quality issues (continued)

Issue

Recommended action

Ink marks in white areas

Certain large print jobs having a repetitive image on slow-drying paper can cause ink to be deposited

(ghosting)

where not intended.

 

Consider using a recommended paper.

 

Set the paper type to “Cardstock” or “Labels.”

Ink marks on the back side

If pre-punched paper is used and the printed area extends over the punched holes, ink can be deposited

of the page

onto the printing surface of the MFP.

 

Set the paper type to “Pre-punched” and make sure the paper is loaded with the holes toward the front of

 

 

the MFP. The image will be electronically trimmed away from the holes. After a serious paper jam, some

 

 

ink residue may remain on the MFP’s printing surface.

 

Print a few more pages to remove the ink.

Strike-through

Excessive visibility of the printed image from the back side of the sheet is due to paper that has low

 

opaqueness or is too thin.

 

Consider using a heavier or higher quality paper.

Smeared ink on glossy paper

Your HP CM8060/CM8050 has been designed to work well on a large variety of plain uncoated office

 

papers. However, there are many coated (glossy) papers that do not work well.

 

Never use coated paper developed for offset printing.

 

Only use HP Brochure Paper for Edgeline Technology.

Paper jams

Discard dog-eared sheets or wrinkled sheets.

 

Only trim paper down to custom sizes after printing.

 

If paper jams occur frequently when printing onto 11"x17" size paper, it may be because you are using

 

 

a short grain paper type. If your 11"x17" paper is not a long grain type, and has a weight of less than

 

 

120 g/m2 (32 lb bond), you should set the administrator option for “Grain Direction

 

 

11" x 17" and A3” to “Short-grain Paper.”

Multi-feeds

Sheets can occasionally stick to each other or be damaged such that several sheets are held together.

 

Discard dog-eared sheets or wrinkled sheets.

 

Do not mix different paper types in a tray.

 

Fan the paper ream to separate the sheets before putting into the tray.

Pages don’t feed from trays

Some papers are manufactured with excessive amounts of fillers such as talc. These fillers can cause the

 

feed rollers to lose their necessary friction.

 

Consider using a different paper.

11" x 17" print turns

Switch to HP Office 11"x17"
