Print quality troubleshooting

Corrective Action

1Try using a heavier paper type. When printing dense colors, it is recommended to use HP Heavyweight Coated Paper or HP Super Heavyweight Coated Paper.

2Use higher print quality settings (refer to the User’s Guide for more information).

White spots on the print

White spots are seen on the print. This is probably due to paper fibers, dust, or loose coating material.

Corrective Action

1Clean the paper manually with a brush before printing, to remove any loose fibers or particles.

2Always keep the cover of the printer closed.

3Protect paper rolls and sheets by storing them in bags or boxes.

Problems with Color Accuracy

Corrective Action

1Ensure that the paper type being used has been color calibrated, which will give color consistency from print to print, and from Printer to Printer.

2Check that printing is on the correct side of the paper.

3Check that the appropriate print quality settings are being used (refer to the User’s Guide for more information). Reprint the job in case the problem has been solved.

4If the problem consists of color differences between your print and your monitor, please follow the instructions in the "How to calibrate your monitor" section of the HP Color Center. At this point, you may wish to reprint your job in case the problem has been solved.

5Select suitable options in the application (refer to the User’s Guide for more information).
