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.
1Open the Printer Properties dialog box and click the Advanced
button in the Main tab.
2Click the Color tab.
3Use the Intensity slide bar to change the intensity setting.
