Correcting Print Misalignment (Head Alignment)
Given that there is a slight gap between the print head and the media, the landing sites for
the different colors of ink may be affected by humidity, temperature, inertial forces imparted

right. As a result, prints may appear grainy or out of focus. When this happens, perform
Head Alignment
to correct the print misalignment.
The thickness of the media determines the distance between the media and the print head.
