Colors in printed images are uneven
Cause Corrective Action
Line Drawing/Text
is selected when
printing images in
many solid colors.
In Print Priority in the Advanced Settings of
the printer driver, choose Image.
You are printing on
paper that curls
easily.
Printed colors may appear uneven on the leading
edge of paper that is susceptible to curling. Select
a stronger level in VacuumStrngth in the Control
Panel menu to increase suction against the paper,
and specify a trailing margin of 20 mm (0.79 in) or
more.
(See "Adjusting the Vacuum Strength
(VacuumStrngth) (
7.2.7).")
Printed colors may
be uneven if you set
the Print Quality
too low.
Choose a higher level of Print Quality in the
Advanced Settings of the printer driver.
Printing in Draft or Standard mode is faster and
consumes less ink than in Highest or High
modes, but the printing quality is lower.
(See "Giving Priority to Particular Graphic
Elements and Colors for Printing (
3.1.4).")
Color may be uneven
between dark and
light image areas.
Select Unidirectional Printing in the Advanced
Settings of the printer driver.
When borderless
printing is used, the
edge of the paper is
cut during printing.
Thus, ink density
may be slightly
uneven at the edges.
Specify No in Auto Cut in the printer driver before
printing. In this case, the paper can be printed
without borders on the left and right sides only.
Cut the printed document ejected from the printer,
then use scissors to cut away the edges on the top
and bottom.
Choose a higher level of Print Quality in the
Advanced Settings of the printer driver.
(See "Giving Priority to Particular Graphic
Elements and Colors for Printing (
3.1.4).")
The Printhead is out
of alignment.
Adjust the Printhead alignment.
(See "Automatic Adjustment to Straighten Lines
and Colors (Head Posi. Adj.) (
