Document print black with a grey shadow

I have a HP Photosmart C4480 all-in-one, equipped with Vista 62 - bit, Windows 9.  After copy and paste an article, the paper printed with black and a gray shadow, as 2D.  I printed out a sheet of test and it came out beautiful.  I am currently on all updates.  Thank you.

Hi there adrianna13,

It can fix its own much and if not to give a better idea of what is happening. Otherwise, I'm glad to hear that you are currently running. Let us know if/when it changes.

Good luck!

  • Unable to print black and white with an empty cartridge

    My printer will not print not black-and-white, except when a color cartridge is replaced empty.

    How can I print black with an empty color in place cartridge?

    Some IIC (individual ink cartridge) printers have print heads that require ink available for periodic maintenance tasks. This avoids problems with hooves in the print head and the bad print quality. The following printers are unable to print when a cartridge is empty, even if the other cartridges.

    If one or more color ink cartridges are low but not empty and you want to minimize the use of color ink, you can change the settings in the HP software to print in black ink only (grey levels). Even if you change the print settings to print in black ink only, the other ink cartridges still have ink in them so that the printer to print.

    If you choose to print in black ink only, the printer always uses small amounts of ink from all cartridges for occasional maintenance tasks. HP recommends to replace the low ink cartridges in order to avoid any interruption in printing.

  • HP ENVY 4504: HP ENVY 4504 does not print black ink even with full cartridge

    Used by my office printer is not printing black ink. It does not, it is out of black ink, but anything on a page I print requiring black ink is absent. I checked the cartridge to see if she had missed and the printer was not to tell me, but she didn't. I also tried to put in a new black ink cartridge, but it wouldn't print black to help anyone.

    There is no problem with color printing and the problem started only today. The black cartridge is certainly compatible with this printer as it had been good working with it so far.

    We bought this printer less than a year ago now.

    Until outside to change the cartridges I also turned the printer off and on again, but neither helped.

    I would appreciate greatly any assistance that we currently only this one printer at the office and we rely on it for a lot of work.

    Thank you very much.

    Ink cartridge information after doing all the recommendations of HP:

    Once you check the vents turn the cartridge and check the underside near the opening of the ink.  They can be of four plastic tabs near the opening are resurrected.  Make sure that the raised tabs are removed and made flush with the body of the cell.  This will cause the cartridge do not do sit properly in all of the print head and cause air that are expected.  This will affect especially the black ink cartridge.

    In particular, let us know if you find the above to be true.

  • Why an I get the test page yellow and black with each print job. I have a HP PSC 1350

    Why an I get the test page yellow and black with each print job? I have a HP PSC 1350

    Hi - I assume that the page that you see printed is the alignment page.  This happens usually if the alignment process has not been made.  All you should have to do is take the printed alignment page and place it face down on the scan scanner glass and press.  Who must complete the alignment process and eliminate the page printing every time.  If you have problems, try following the procedure described in this document.

    Hope that helps.

    Hello @geopap,

    I saw your post about the problems you are having with your black cartridge and I might have some suggestions that you might try.

    1) are you using genuine HP ink cartridge? HP recommends that you use genuine HP cartridges. HP does not guarantee the quality or reliability of the ink cartridges not HP or full HP ink cartridges. If you don't use a genuine HP ink cartridges, the steps in this post could not solve the problem you experience. We could also see how supplies no HP compared to reloaded cartridges or reconstructed according to the buyers lab report.

    I also see the limited warranty for cartridges HP ink and print heads replaceable by the customer of consumable inkjet HP.

    (2) you mentioned that you had this printer for 3 months - is always the original ink cartridge that came with it? Is is possible that the cartridge is empty, you have tried a new cartridge yet?

    The following information is in this article; Using ink in ink jet printers - it addresses different aspects of using ink with HP printers.  Ink is used in a number of ways throughout the inkjet printing process. In general, ink in a cartridge of ink is used for printing of documents, photographs and these other materials. Some ink, however, must be used to maintain the health of the print head; little ink is residual; and little ink evaporates.

    HP offers two models of General inkjet print head: integrated into the ink cartridge (integrated print head: HPI), and a long lasting printing head integrated to a printer that has individual ink cartridges (IIC).

    There are several circumstances where color ink may be used mainly to improve the print quality and sometimes improve printer reliability, even if the document appears to be just black text-and-graphics. Many printers HP uses chemical interactions to improve the quality and permanence of the black paper text-and-graphics by adding a small amount of color ink in some black areas. A few dark images that have black air may contain a combination of inks, black and color. For photos and images in black and white, a mixture of colors called 'composite black' can be used to achieve the image quality greatly improved and more fluid gray tones that can be accomplished with only black ink. Some inkjet printers use black ink, Pigmented, which is incompatible with a bit of photo inkjet paper. In this case, the dark or black areas are composed of color inks. Page performance test is carried out with all the cartridges (black and color), installed in the printer. For more information, see inkjet by page .

  • With W - XP and a utility 6540dt, why it prints black (bakkup) with two LDTC wet ink?

    Someone out there:

    I'm under Windows XP and using a HP Deskjet 6540dt printer.  I removed two LDTC (ink cartridges) which indicated down and replace them with two new HP Inkjet LDTC and the printer indicates it will only print black ctg in backup modeusing.   This got me puzzzled.   I deleted the drivers and reinstalled from a CD disc (part No. C8963-10001) HP   after reinstall the drivers, the printer still prints with the onlyblack print cartridge.  I was super confused.

    I am running AVG free edition , and Microsoft Security Essentials and have even unintalled them then turing the driver for the Modem from Verizon to reintall the HP Deskjet 6500 series and still no luck I thought that the firewall can interfere with the installation.  He does not appear.

    What do you think is the problem?.    I have the installation disc at home MS W - XP original (not a recovery disk) and have all the dates of arrival and Service Pack (SP-3).

    I'll have to take the computer and printer to a repair (specialist) {no BestBuy or Geeks or Office Depot} man or can I fix it myself. ??   If I can fix it myself, you please give me instructions step by step IE: A: cela;  B: do;    etc.

    The specialist repairer should have renovated th ? printer

    Thanks in advance for your input

  • Print black color with a color of the image page

    If I set up my printer to print in color, it prints black parts with cartridege or black color combination?

    Hi reneincer,

    I understand that you would like to know if the printer uses black ink if you set up to print with the color cartridges.

    There are different to choose print settings.

    High quality grayscale will use less cyan, megenta and yellow (CMY) that say normal printing mode, but will not be a drastic reduction. However, the only feature of black ink slightly reduced the use of the CMJ. This setting produces a composite black.

    The feature of black ink only will limit the use of color for the amount that passes under the black ink to ensure an impression for a long time and the true-black tone that should.

    More economical printing would quickly the project and black ink only.  Grayscale setting uses the color cartridge to print in grayscale, because it offers better quality.  The quality is better with shades of gray, but it uses more ink.

    You will find information in the following article. Use of inkjet printers ink.

    Here is a document on the color management settings.

    I hope it's useful.

  • 6500 has suddenly stopped printing black - half full cartridge - even with 2 computers

    HP Office Jet 6500An running under Apple's OSX was OK, the next day asked to print (black only) and print completely white sheet.  Ink cartridge shows more than half full and seems OK. prints other colors without problems.  Situation is the same when you use another computer OSX. Have removed and replaced the same cartridge and have disconnected and reconnected the power.  Out of warranty (I think) and not worth hassle of maintenance.   Ideas - or replace?

It will perform various tasks and provide instructions step by step for all the actions that must be performed to try to correct this problem of printing output. I hope this helps.

  • When you print from Illustrator document is printed black instead of blue

    The computer is running Windows 7 x 64 adobe CS6.  The printer is a HP laserjet 3800dn the driver for the printer is PCL5 but it does the same thing with the Postscript driver printing.  We have a dark blue color that prints black for some reason any. In the right printing options before releasing the work that we changed the use Illustrator colors to use Post script colors, and it still does the same thing... Black prints where Blue is supposed to go on the document.  It doesn't matter if it's a .jpeg or plain text.  Send the job to another printer works which is a Xerox workcentre.

    Well, I thought that perhaps I jumped on where you say yellow printed, but blue didn't... I see is blue prints in black. And your screenshot, it's this box in grayscale I thought power have been set.

    You have another one of these HP printers? If so, it prints correctly?

    Did you that he is not a corrupt driver and or drivers updated on your system? Another computer can print to this printer?

    Seems that if the Xerox print it well, then it is not Illy.

  • HP Officejet pro 8600 more: Page print black Pro with a few lines of Pentecost

    When I copy or scan by giving instructions to the printer, the pages are mainly black with some vertical stripes. If I scan the computer, using scanning and faxing of Windows I get a perfect scan.

    It is possible that these scans are using different wifi networks (my regular and direct network to the network printer); I don't know how to understand it! But it would not affect reproduction.

    Printing is fine.
