If you aligned the cartridges to improve print quality, then print your document again. If print quality has not improved, then clean the printhead nozzles.

Cleaning the printhead nozzles

Poor print quality is sometimes due to clogged printhead nozzles. Clean the printhead nozzles to improve the quality of your prints.

Notes:

Cleaning the printhead nozzles uses ink, so clean them only when necessary.

Deep cleaning uses more ink, so try the Clean Printhead option first to save ink.

If the ink levels are too low, then you must replace the ink cartridges before you can clean the printhead nozzles.
