55-3 Improving Print Quality If this happens: Your printout is faint, blurry, or grainy, or colors are incorrect or missing. Your printout is smeared. Try this: • Print the Configuration page and make sure the press simulation is set correctly. • Make sure the Print Mode setting matches the substrate you're using and the paper tray levers are set correctly. See Chapter 2 or your RIP Station 5000 User Guide for more information. • Make sure your paper or other substrate is loaded with the printable side in the correct orientation. The printable side should be face-down in the tray or front manual feed slot; face-up in the rear manual feed slot. • Make sure the substrate is not damp or damaged in any way. • Run a cleaning cycle. See page 4-1 for instructions. • Check the H ink out lights to see if one of the cartridges is low on ink or empty; then replace the cartridge. See page 4-3 for instructions. • Align the print head. See page 1-15 for instructions. • If you're printing on thick paper in the paper tray, make sure you set the media type lever to Thick Paper. If you're feeding thick paper manually, follow the instructions on page 2-7. • If you're printing on glossy film or similar substrates, make sure you use a support sheet or sheet of plain paper under the paper stack. Don't load more than 30 sheets of glossy film in the tray. • If ink has leaked inside the printer, carefully clean it following the instructions on page 4-7.
