o
Did you select a low quality mode (such as
Speed) as the Print Quality?
If the options selected for Print Quality > Quality
Options place priority on speed, quality will be
sacrificed for print speed, potentially causing print
quality to decline. To improve print quality, select
Resolution options that give priority to quality.
o
Is color management enabled?
Enable color management.
U “Color Management Printing” on page 94
o
Have you compared the printing result with
the image on the display monitor?
Since monitors and printers produce colors
differently, printed colors will not always match
on-screen colors perfectly.
o
Did you open the printer cover while
printing?
If the printer cover is opened while printing, the print
head stops suddenly causing unevenness in the color.
Do not open the printer cover while printing.
o
Is Ink is low. displayed in the control panel?
The print quality may decline when the ink is low. We
recommend replacing the ink cartridge with a new
one. If there is a difference in color after replacing the
ink cartridge, try performing head cleaning a few
times.

The color is not exactly the same as
another printer.
o
Colors vary depending on the printer type
due to each printer's characteristics.
Because inks, printer drivers, and printer profiles are
developed for each printer model, the colors printed
by different printer models are not exactly the same.
You can achieve similar colors with the same color
adjustment method or the same gamma setting by
using the printer driver.
U “Color Management Printing” on page 94
To match the color precisely, use the color
measurement device to perform color management.
I am worried about the print quality at
the leading edge of the paper
o
If the margin at the leading edge of the paper
is small, colors may be uneven depending on
the paper and printing environment.
Print a larger margin at the leading edge of the paper.
