Overall Print Quality is Poor

If you notice that your print quality is uneven, too light, too dark, or there are lines in the print (banding),
try these solutions:

• Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if

necessary. If nozzles are still clogged after cleaning three times, perform a Powerful Cleaning.

• Perform a print quality adjustment.
