Use a different brand of paper

Each paper brand accepts ink differently and prints with color variations. If you are printing photos or other high-quality images, for best results use Lexmark PerfectFinish Photo Paper or Lexmark Photo Paper. Do not use Lexmark Premium Photo Paper. Your print cartridges are not compatible with this type of paper.

Check paper condition

Use only new, unwrinkled paper.
