Ink is not filling the text or graphics completely
Check the print cartridges:
• The print cartridge might be low or out of ink. Check the printer LEDs to make sure they
are not on (see
“Printer lights blink”
and
“Print cartridge problem”
for more information).
Replace any low or empty print cartridges, then try to print again. See
“Replacing the
print cartridges”
for instructions.
• Whenever print quality noticeably decreases it is a good idea to clean them. See
“Cleaning the print cartridges”
for instructions.
• If the print cartridges have poor contact, try removing and then reinstalling the print
cartridges, making sure to snap them firmly into place. See
“Replacing the print
cartridges”
for instructions.
Check the paper type.
Some paper types are not suitable for use with your HP printer. For information on
recommended media, see
“Printing and loading media.”
If none of the above solutions worked, try printing using Best mode.
