Improving Print Quality
If you are not satisfied with the print quality of your documents, there are several different ways to improve the print quality.
•Use the appropriate paper. For example, use Dell Premium Photo Paper if you are printing photos with a photo ink cartridge.
•Use paper that is a heavier weight, bright white, or coated. Use Dell Premium Photo Paper if you are printing photos.
•Select a higher print quality.
To select a higher print quality:
1With your document open, click File→ Print. The Print dialog box appears.
2From the Print dialog box, click Preferences, Properties, or Options (depending on your program or operating system).
3From the Quality/Speed area, select a higher quality setting.
4Print your document again.
5If the print quality does not improve, try aligning or cleaning the ink cartridges. For more information on aligning, see "Aligning Ink Cartridges" on page 74. For more information on cleaning ink cartridges, see "Cleaning the Ink Cartridge Nozzles" on page 75.
