If you still have a problem

If you still experience print-quality problems after applying the advice in this chapter, here are some further things that you can do:

●Try using a higher print-quality option. See Printing on page 59.

●Check the driver you are using to print with. If it is a non-HP driver, consult the driver vendor about the problem. You could also try using the correct HP driver, if feasible. The latest HP drivers can be downloaded from http://www.hp.com/go/designjet/.

●If you are using a non-HP RIP, its settings may be incorrect. See the documentation that came with the RIP.

●Check that your printer's firmware is up to date. See Update the firmware on page 138.

●Check that you have the right settings in your software application.
