Poor black text

Try the following solutions if the text in your printouts is not sharp and the edges are rough.

Solution 1: Wait before you attempt to reprint

Solution 2: Use TrueType or OpenType fonts

Solution 3: Align the printhead

Solution 4: Clean the printhead

Solution 1: Wait before you attempt to reprint

Solution: If the black cartridge is new, allow time for automatic servicing to clear up the problem. Black print quality should start to improve in a few hours. If you do not have time to wait, you can clean the printhead, but this uses more ink, and the poor black text may reoccur until automatic servicing is allowed to complete.

Cause: Many black print quality problems clear up when the automatic services are performed.
