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.

NOTE: Dell Premium Photo Paper may not be available in all areas.

•Select a higher print quality. To select a higher print quality:

1With your document open, click File→Print. The Print dialog box opens.

2Click Preferences, Properties, or Options (depending on your program or operating system).

The Printing Preferences dialog box opens.

3On the Print Setup tab, select a higher quality setting.

4Print your document again. If the print quality does not improve, try aligning or cleaning the ink cartridges. For more information on aligning, see "Aligning Ink Cartridges" on page 87. For more information on cleaning ink cartridges, see "Cleaning the Ink Cartridge Nozzles" on page 88.
