The colors on the printout do not match the colors on the screen.
The color reproduction methods used by display screens differ from those used by printers. In
addition, the printed color tones may not perfectly match those on the screen because the colors
vary depending on the circumstances in which the screen is viewed and screen’s color calibration
settings. For instance, objects that appear blue on the screen are printed purple and objects that
appear pale green on the screen are printed dark green. However, if the differences are extreme,
the items below should be checked.
Cause
The print head nozzles in one of the
BJ Cartridges are blocked or one of
the inks has run out
The printer driver settings are not
correct.
Solution
Print a Nozzle Check Pattern and check the status of the print
heads. (page 16)
To print a photo, select the correct print mode icon for the
document you are printing (such as SuperPhoto). Check also that
the BJ Cartridge and Media Type settings match the BJ Cartridge
and media you are actually using. (page 7)

The paper comes out curled/warped/wrinkled.
Cause
You are printing on very thin paper
and excess ink is being absorbed
by the paper.
The print quality is set to Fast.
The print density is set too high.
Solution
Print on specially coated paper such as Canon’s High Resolution
Paper or Glossy Photo Paper. (page 12)
Move the Print Quality slider in the printer driver towards Fine.
Open the printer driver Printer Properties window, click Advanced... and
move the Print Quality slider on the Quality tab to the right (towards
Fine).
When you specify a higher quality setting, each line is printed in a
number of passes. Consequently, the ink dries more quickly, and the
tendency for paper curl is minimized.
Reduce the print density in the printer driver.
Open the printer driver Printer Properties window, click Advanced... and
then click the Color tab.
Move the Intensity slider to the left to lower the print density.
