Ink marks on the back of the paper
This can happen after a lot of borderless printing, especially with non-standard paper sizes. Ink residues on
the platen are likely to mark the back of the paper.
Clean the platen with a soft cloth. Clean each rib separately without touching the foam between the ribs.
Black ink comes off when you touch the print
This problem may be caused by printing with matte black ink on photo paper. The printer will not use matte
black ink if it knows that the paper will not retain it. To be sure of avoiding matte black ink, you can select
Photo Gloss Paper as the paper type (in the Photo Paper category).
Edges of objects are stepped or not sharp
If edges of objects or lines appear to be poorly defined or lighter in density, and you have already set the
print-quality slider to Quality in the driver dialog, select the custom print-quality options, and try setting the
quality level to Normal. See Printing on page 64.
Edges of objects are darker than expected
If edges of objects seem darker than expected, and you have already set the print-quality slider to Quality in
the driver dialog, select the custom print-quality options, and try setting the quality level to Normal. See
Printing on page 64.
Horizontal lines at the end of a cut sheet print
This type of defect affects only the end of a print, within approximately 30 mm of the trailing edge of the
paper. You may see some very thin horizontal lines across the print.
