Print Quality Is Poor
Check the following if the print quality is poor due to blurry prints, banding, missing colors, faded colors,
misalignment, and mosaic-like patterns in the prints.

although they look good enough on the display, and so print quality may decline.

❏ Print using a high quality setting on the control panel or in the printer driver.
