The last time I bought "compatible" ink it was not only terrible but wrecked my drum as well. You may have to buy a new drum. I only buy Brother brand now. Even tho it's outrageously expensive.

I would suggest "cleaning the printeads" after refilling your cartridges and before printing. I'm able to do this directly from my printer, under "tools"

Maybe you need to do an alignment. OR When you go to printing preferences, click on Maintenance and there are options. Maybe you can find the option that will help.

Without standing in front of the printer it would be impossible to give you a complete answer. I would start by turning off the "form tear off" option. There is a small chance that will fix your problem.

I have noticed the quality is not as good. There is a general grayness to the page like there is a light dusting of toner on the whole page.

f streaking or print quality problems occur, first check that the printheads are positioned correctly in the carrier: 1 Press Menu&gt; until you see the Utilities Menu. 2 Press Select. 3 Press Menu&gt; until you see Change Printhead. 4 Press Select. 5 Open the printer cover. The carrier moves to the load position at the center of the printer. 6 Raise the carrier handle up and back down to reseat the printheads. 7 Close the cover. If this does not solve the problem, a printhead may be plugged with dried ink. Doing a Short Clean should fix most print quality problems: 1 Press Menu&gt; until the Utilities Menu appears. 2 Press Select. 3 Press Menu&gt; until Clean Printheads appears on the second line of the displayPress Select. Short Clean appears on the second line of the display. 5 Press Select. Once the Short Clean finishes, a test page prints four color bars. If you do not see an improvement, do a Long Clean. Keep in mind, however, that a Long Clean uses a substantial amount of ink and takes some time to run. 1 Press Menu&gt; until the Utilities Menu appears. 2 Press Select. 3 Press Menu&gt; until Clean Printheads appears on the second line of the display. 4 Press Select. 5 Press Menu&gt; until Long Clean appears on the second line of the display. 6 Press Select.

I had to change the settings on my printer to be more vibrant. I don't think it had anything to do with how old the pkg. was. Try to darken your image before printing and "up" the color tones.

I have printed ONLY on plain paper - not on photo paper - and "blacks" often print as faded, or downright grey. I would not recommend this for your desired use. (At least, not on plain paper!)

Hey Marion: When you print your document, (File, Print) you should see a "properties" button, where those can be found... Sometimes the program may have a "Toner Saver" or "EconoMode" box you can check. Or you can change the print quality to a lower setting. Explore the tabs at the top after you click properties, there is all kinds of useful and sometimes fun stuff in there. Good Luck!

I have not noticed this issue. Your choice of paper makes a big difference in the print quality. Also there are numerous selections you can make in the print options.

Do a nozzle check on your printer. Run three consecutive cleaning cylces.Change your graphic to a jpg and print in rgb.Google it.Just a couple suggestions.

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?

Its best to carefully cut them out. Or make a dark background because the wntire paper would be transfered and a white square will appear on it. So cut the white out.

Which is exactly why I got rid of it not long after buying it! The color was ALWAYS "off". I was never able to correct it and Epson was no help. I have since purchased two Canon printers (one for home and one for work) and I love them. Good luck!

Yes, just check in the properties part to print in "grayscale". That is what I do. And you could have a box to pop up telling you there is not color and ask you about printing in black and white. Just answer "yes".

And where do you manually set the density to 5, to make it print darker? How do you do that?

Yes. Under properties is a box for grayscale printing. This should render color documents in grayscale. Obviously if the document is not in color the printer prints black and white. It does have multiple settings. Be sure to do test prints prior to any large job.
