To improve print quality

1. Make sure you are using genuine HP cartridges.
NOTE:
service or repairs required as a result of using a non-HP supply will not be covered
under warranty.
If you believe you purchased genuine HP ink cartridges, go to:

HP recommends that you use genuine HP ink cartridges. Genuine HP ink cartridges
are designed and tested with HP printers to help you easily produce great results,
time after time.
CAUTION:
replacement is ready to install.
2. Check the estimated ink levels to determine if the cartridges are low on ink. Low ink
levels can cause poor print quality. If the print cartridges are low on ink consider
replacing them.

3. Check to make sure you are using the correct paper type for your print job.
HP recommends that you use HP papers or any other paper type that is appropriate
for the product. Make sure only one type of paper is loaded at a time.
Always make sure the paper you are printing on is flat. For best results when printing
images, use HP Advanced Photo Paper.
4. Check the print settings to make sure you have selected the appropriate paper type
and print quality for your print job.
Settings you can check include:
• Check the print quality setting and make sure it is not set too low.
• Print the image with a high print quality setting, such as Best or Maximum dpi.
5. Check the ink cartridges to make sure they are installed properly. The orange tab
should be removed and the label on the top of the cartridge should be slightly torn.
For information about checking the ink cartridges to make sure they are installed
properly, see
6. Print a print quality report.
