Printout Is Unsatisfactory I Colors Not Clear The colors in printed photographs and illustrations are not as clear as you expected. CHECK 1 BJ CARTRIDGE AND MEDIA CORRECT FOR THE PRINT JOB? When printing photographs or illustrations, use High Resolution Paper, Glossy Photo Paper, or High Gloss Film. These media provide better color reproduction and brighter colors than plain paper. If you are printing graphs or charts, use the BC-21e Color BJ Cartridge. The BC-22e Photo BJ Cartridge is the best choice for natural images with ﬁne color gradations, such as photographs. A clogged or worn BJ cartridge may cause printing problems. Print a Nozzle Check Pattern and check the printed patterns. Printing a Nozzle Check Pattern Troubleshooting 155
