•“Print a self-test report” on page 131

•“Align the printer” on page 138

Cause: The paper is too close to the print head.

Solution: If the paper is too close to the print head during printing, the ink might be smeared. This can happen if the paper is raised, wrinkled, or very thick, such as a mailing envelope. Make sure the paper lays flat in the input tray and is not wrinkled.

Ink is not filling the text or graphics completely

Cause: The Paper Type setting is incorrect.

Solution: Change the Paper Type setting to match the type of paper loaded in the input tray.

For more information, see:

•“Set the copy paper type” on page 123

•“Set the paper type for printing” on page 77

Cause: The copy or print paper type setting is incorrect.

Solution: Load high-quality paper in the input tray and print the image with a high print quality setting, such as Best, Maximum dpi, or High Resolution. Always make sure the paper you are printing on is flat. For best results when printing images, use HP Premium Plus Photo Paper.

If the problem persists, use the software you installed with the HP All-in-One or another software application to rotate your image 180 degrees so that the light blue, gray, or brown hues in your image do not print at the bottom of the page.
