Troubleshooting

Chapter 12

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. Print the image using six-ink printing. To do so, install the photo print cartridge in place of the black print cartridge. With the photo print cartridge and the tri-color print cartridge installed, you have a six-ink system, which provides enhanced quality photos.

Cause: The paper type is not suitable for the HP All-in-One.

Solution: If the paper you are using is too fibrous, the ink applied by the HP All-in- One might not fully cover the surface of the paper. Use HP Premium Papers or any other paper type that is appropriate for the HP All-in-One.
