Printout Is Unsatisfactory
CHECK 2 ARE YOU USING PLAIN PAPER?
If you are using plain paper, use another type of print media. To minimize ink spread, use High Resolution Paper, Glossy Photo Paper, or High Gloss Film.
CHECK 3 IS THE PRINT HEAD DIRTY?
Clogged print head nozzles can cause ink spread and blurring, so clean the print head.

CHECK 4 IS THE PRINTER DRIVER SET FOR HIGH DENSITY PRINTING?
The Intensity setting in the printer driver can be used to adjust print density (that is, the amount of ink used to print). Lowering the print density setting can reduce the tendency for ink to spread in color photographs or illustrations.
