Vertical streaks • Printouts have vertical streaks Printouts have vertical streaks Solution: HP recommends that you use HP papers or any other paper type that is appropriate for the printer. Always make sure the paper you are printing on is flat. For best results when printing images, use HP Advanced Photo Paper. Store specialty media in its original packaging inside a resealable plastic bag on a flat surface in a cool, dry place. When you are ready to print, remove only the paper you plan to use immediately. When you have finished printing, return any unused photo paper to the plastic bag. This prevents the photo paper from curling. NOTE: For this issue, there is not a problem with your ink supplies. Therefore, replacing the ink cartridges or printhead is not necessary. Print quality troubleshooting 107
