Printout Is Unsatisfactory
■ Ink blurred
The ink has blurred in the print job; images are not sharp and the ink has spread and run
together.
Check 1 ARE YOU USING PLAIN PAPER?
If you are using plain paper, use another type of print media. To minimize
ink spread, use High Resolution Paper, Glossy Photo Paper, or High Gloss
Photo Film.
Check 2 IS THE PRINT HEAD DIRTY?
Clogged print head nozzles can cause ink spread and blurring, so clean the
print head.

Check 3 IS THE PRINTER DRIVER SET FOR HIGH-DENSITY PRINTING?
The Intensity setting in the printer driver can be used to adjust print density
(that is, the amount of ink used to print).
Lowering the print density setting can reduce the tendency for ink to spread
in color photographs or illustrations.
