Ink is smearing Check the print settings (HP Officejet J3600 only) • When you print documents that use much ink, allow more time to dry before handling the printouts. This is especially true for transparencies. In the printer driver, select the Best print quality, and also increase the ink drying time and reduce the ink saturation using the ink volume under the advanced features (Windows) or ink features (Mac OS). However, note that decreasing ink saturation might give printouts a "washedout" quality. • Color documents that have rich, blended colors can wrinkle or smear when printed using the Best print quality. Try using another print mode, such as Normal, to reduce ink, or use HP Premium Paper designed for printing vivid color documents. For more information, see Change print settings. Check the media type Some types of media do not accept ink well. For these types of media, ink will dry more slowly and smearing may occur. For more information, see Select print media. Ink is not filling the text or graphics completely Check the media type Some media types are not suitable for use with the device. For more information, see Select print media. Check the print cartridges Make sure the print cartridges are not low on ink. For more information, see Manage the device. Output is faded or dull colored Check the print mode The Fast mode in the printer driver allows you to print at a faster rate, which is good for printing drafts. To get better results, select Normal or Best. For more information, see Change print settings. Check the paper type setting When printing on transparencies or other special media (HP Officejet J3600 only) select the corresponding media type in the print driver. For more information, see Print on special and custom-sized media. Poor print quality and unexpected printouts 121
