The printed output is fuzzy, blurry, or grainy, or the edges of objects in the images are jagged.
Solution
Follow these steps until the issue is resolved.
Step one: Check your paper
Step two: Check the settings
Step three: Check image resolution
Make
sure that the image file has enough resolution for the size of the
printed picture. Although many photo applications can enlarge an image
or part of an image to any size, eventually the individual pixels become
visible and the whole image looks blurry.
Here are some general guidelines for image file resolutions:
To see additional options, click the Advanced
tab, and then click Advanced Features
.
The Advanced Features
window opens. Consider changing the following option:
Ink volume
: Adjust the amount of ink that prints on a page. For lighter images
(less ink), drag the slider to the left. For darker images (more ink),
drag the slider to the right. The lighter the ink volume, the more
quickly the printout dries.
Step four: Align the cartridges
If
the previous steps have not improved the appearance of the printout,
align the cartridges. See the user guide for alignment instructions.
I have an HP Photsmart C4100 printer. I purchased remanufactured ink cartridges (both black and tri-colored) from Vivasmart. The black one works fine, but when I installed the tri-color, I got an error message that says "Print cartridge problem" The following print cartridge has a problem:
Tri-color. And I can't print. The screen on my printer says "Remove and check color cartridge." I have done this several times and it still won't print. I have turned off the power, removed the cartridges, and unplugged the unit, but it still didn't help. Any suggestions?
