Print Quality is Poor – the cause and solution
People often think that when they have problems with print quality that it is the cause of the ink cartridge. They are particularly prone to think this when they have purchased compatible ink cartridges or refilled ink cartridges.
However this is not always the case and the problem could lie elsewhere. To explore this a little further we can look at some of the problems that occur.
First of all here are some of the problems:
- Half of the page is not printer out.
- Irregular print quality meaning that one page is OK and the next one is smudged.
- The print is faded and or a general low quality.
- The pink or the blue in the colour comes out wrong.
- Broken lines through the print
Where half of the page is not printed out – either the top half , or the print stops half way across the page. This is probably not caused by the ink cartridge at all, but by not having the proper driver installed on your computer.
When you buy a new printer it may be more advanced than your existing computer and may not have the relevant drivers installed. This is easily fixed by downloading the proper driver from the manufactures website. They are generally free.
