Quality
(see
Select print
quality
on page
47
).
●
If using custom print quality options, ensure that the

To avoid this problem:
1.
Print the Image Diagnostics Print. See
The Image Diagnostics Print
on page
163
.
2.
Consider printing with roll paper.
3.
Consider using larger margins around your image.

1.
Try using thicker paper, choosing from the recommended paper types such as HP Heavyweight
Coated Paper and HP Super Heavyweight Paper. See
Order paper
on page
134
.
2.
Try using higher print-quality settings (see
Printing
on page
45
). For instance, if you have set the
Print Quality slider to
Speed
, try setting it to
Quality
; if you have already set it to
Quality
, try
selecting custom options and then
More Passes
.
