Colors Are Unclear

  1. Check1 Are the print head nozzles clogged?

    Print the nozzle check pattern to determine whether the ink ejects properly from the print head nozzles.

    For details on printing the nozzle check pattern, print head cleaning, and print head deep cleaning, see If Printing Is Faint or Uneven.

    • If nozzle check pattern is not printed correctly:

      After performing the print head cleaning, print the nozzle check pattern and examine the pattern.

    • If problem is not resolved after performing print head cleaning twice:

      Perform print head deep cleaning.

      If the problem is not resolved after performing print head deep cleaning, turn off the printer and perform print head deep cleaning again 24 hours later. When you turn the printer off, do not unplug it from the power supply.

    • If problem is not resolved after performing print head deep cleaning twice:

      Ink may have run out. Replace the FINE cartridge.

  2. Check2 When a FINE cartridge runs out of ink, replace it with a new one.

  3. Check3 Is the FINE cartridge installed properly?

    If the FINE cartridge is not installed securely, ink may not be ejected correctly.

    Open the paper output cover and remove the FINE cartridges.

    Then install the FINE cartridges again. Push up the FINE cartridge until it clicks into place.

    After confirming that the FINE cartridge is installed properly, close the paper output cover.

Note

  • Printed colors may not match screen colors due to basic differences in the methods used to produce colors. Color control settings and environmental differences can also affect how colors appear on the screen. Therefore, colors of printing results may be different from those on the screen.
