Has anyone else had a problem with the black print being too light?

No problems with the black print being too light. Purchased this printer after wrestling unsuccessfully with the 8600 Premium model that began throwing printer cartridge and print head errors (after a year of trouble-free service) no matter what we replaced (cartridges), adjusted, or cleaned. So far, no problems with this one.

Not too light, no, but it's definitely not laser-dark, which is disappointing. I've only printed on 22 lb. copy paper, though, and haven't tried any papers formulate for this printer. Perhaps that would make a difference?

You may be able to use the printer software to increase the black level. I found I could do that with other HP printers. I'm thinking about ordering one of these to replace a 7 year old model giving me print head problems.

All inkjet papers come now with the new ColorLok technology which produces bold and brilliant black level.

You need a stronger light. I had that same problem with the opi pastels. Stronger light did the trick.

I'm thinking it might be related to the dark corner issue. I noticed more than one reviewer complained about this and there are photos posted up in the customer photo section illustrating this issue. I was going to purchase this camera myself until I saw this potential problem. For example:http://www.amazon.com/review/R1HXQU9INW3I2T/ref=cm_aya_cmt?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B005TGKX9S#wasThisHelpful

On mine, the printing was so light you couldn't read it. Time to change rollers.

When I first turned mine on, I had a lighter 'frame' about 1" around the edge of the display that was visible on a black or dark screen. It eventually went away, but now there's a little bit more concentration of light along the left bottom edge but only slightly noticeable. I've seen the same kind of 'stage lights' effect with a retina iPad, so it's probably normal.

I would send it back. I have had mine for some time and have had no issues with mine. Sounds like a bad light sensor. Good luck.

When you go to "print page" you put "black" instead of "collor" page. Hope you can do it.

I have some backlight bleeding on the bottom right. It's not too bad, but definitely noticeable when the screen is displaying black. I have not tried to fix it myself yet.

I have not run across this problem yet, but I believe if you print in black you should still be able to print without replacing the color that has run out. Hope this helps.

I believe the blacks are the same as the others. The is a black screen with green print - it is on all the time.

Something is wrong with my printing this week.Normally I get a warning about which of the colours is empty,but this time I haven't although the printing is not OK.Any ideas?

I have glow in the dark pebbles. Black lights never seemed to do much to them. I think the Light has a hard time penetrating through the water. But that's just a guess. Go buy yourself a black light poster. Then if the pebbles don't work out you've got yourself something sweet

Have you already tried adjusting the GAMMA setting? Or turning off the BLACK TONE setting?Both can be found after hitting MENU/PICTURE/ADVANCE SETTINGS

After scanning about a dozen slides mine would not light up at all.the screen was just black. I e mailed the manufacturer and they told me several things to do, which I had already tried and didn't work...then they told me it was probably defective and to return it to where I bought it. I contacted Amazon, they were great! Sent me the return label and immediately sent me another one! The second one worked like a charm and I converted all 1000 slides that I had from years ago!! Hope this helps!! It was so simple to use..

Nope, the printing looks great. I have used it quite a bit and have not had any problems. Granted, I HAVE had problems before, but not this time nor with this vendor. I would highly recommend them. Hope this helps.

I print on the shinier side and I have had no problem. I use Canon ink. Could it be your ink instead of your settings? I hope you can solve your problem. I really like the paper.
