Troubleshooting
Colors in printed images are
uneven
Color may be uneven between
dark and light image areas.
Density may be uneven if you use
Glossy Paper
or Coated Paper
.
When borderless printing is used,
the edge of the paper is cut during
printing. Thus, ink density may be
slightly uneven at the edges.
The Printhead
is out of alignment.
Allowing printed documents to dry
on top of each other may cause
uneven colors.
Select
Unidirectional Printing
in the
Advanced
Settings
of the printer driver.
In
Advanced Settings
of the printer driver, choose
Highest quality
or
High
in
Print Quality
.
Specify
No
in
Auto Cut
in the printer driver before
printing. In this case, the paper can be printed without
borders on the left and right sides only. Cut the printed
document ejected from the printer, and then use
scissors or a cutting tool to cut away the edges on the
top and bottom.
Adjust the Printhead
alignment.
Choose a higher level of
Print Quality
in the
Advanced Settings
of the printer driver.
To avoid uneven colors, we recommend drying each
sheet separately.

may be uneven at the leading
edge of the paper.

consumes less ink than in
