And here is an example of the same printhead in a bad state:

Corrective action

1.Clean the printhead if necessary (see Clean the printhead on page 228). Then reprint the Image Diagnostics Print to see whether the problem has been solved.

2.If the problem remains, clean the printhead again, and reprint the Image Diagnostics Print to see whether the problem has been solved.

3.If the problem still remains, replace the printhead (see Handling ink cartridges and printhead on page 140), or contact HP Support (see Contact HP Support on page 242).

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 68.

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/T2500/drivers.

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