Reference Guide  8142/8160

If your application software permits, use gamma correction to lighten the color.

Too much air may have been drawn into the cartridge during extended operation.

Colors print as monochrome

Be sure the Color/Mono mode is set correctly. To change a specific drawing from monochrome to color or vice
versa, you must switch the Color/Mono setting and re-transmit the file.

Ink smears after removing the print

Be sure the ink is dry before removing the print. Turn the dryer on.

Smudged or dark characters

Be sure you are using the correct type of media for the application.

Make sure the media is straight and unwrinkled when loading it into the printer.

Prime, clean, calibrate, or replace cartridges.

Try a different print mode.

Improperly formed or misaligned characters

Calibrate cartridges.

Color problems or shadowing

Calibrate cartridges.

Excessive graininess

Perform color deadband compensation.
