You're using the High Speed and MicroWeave settings with a misaligned print head. The resolution of your image may be too low. Solution Make sure your paper or media meets the specifications listed in Paper. If your printouts are still blurry after you change paper, clean the print head as described in Cleaning the Print Head. Make sure the Media Type setting matches the paper you're using. See Printing from Windows or Printing from a Macintosh for instructions. Clean carefully inside the printer to remove spilled ink. See Cleaning the Printer for instructions. Turn off High Speed following the instructions in Customizing Print Quality and Special Effects. Then run the Print Head Alignment utility following the instructions in Aligning the Print Head. If a photographic image looks grainy or rough, try using the PhotoEnhance3 (PhotoEnhance on Windows 3.1) and Sharpness setting to improve the printed quality. See Customizing Color Settings for details. You can also increase the image resolution using your image-editing software, or decrease the size of the image. Troubleshooting Page 145
