• Print quality problems

  I have a Photosmart HP 5510 e-All-in-one printer - B111a and currently in print quality problems.

  Whenever I have print anything print quality is terrible, but if I print a print quality diagnostics page, it is perfect. Any ideas? I finished all the diagnostic tools and cleaning tools on the printer, but it just isn't the problem.

  Hi thighto,

  My apologies, these measures failed to solve the problem for you!

  In my view, that a reset of the printer is the best thing to try. Please read this privacy statement for HP: http://bit.ly/pCUQT7 and continue to check your Inbox for the resetting.

  If the reset does not solve the problem, I would recommend that you call HP Technical Support for your area and inquire about what they can do for you at this stage.

• How to change the resolution of a photo in photoshop for high quality printing?

  I am confused about how to check the actual resolution of an image in Photoshop.

  I understand 72 DPI is set for the web and 300 DPI is normally required for high quality printing but how do you check the dpi in Photoshop. When you go to the size and resolution of the image, it is always in pixels (ppi)? Is it the same thing as the dots per inch?

  For example. If I open a photo in Photoshop and the resolution is 72 dpi can I change this at 300ppi so that's 300 DPI when it goes to print?

  Also is there a way to check the resolution of a picture that has been placed in indesign or illustrator without opening the image in photoshop?

  Thanks in advance

  You should check up to resample it for any nationally - or down.

  If you want to convert to CMYK, you must use the correct profile, the results may not be as expected.

  CMYK profiles are dependent on the device - the press is either calibrated to a known profile (which may be available in Photoshop), or he has a profile, which you would have to get the printer.

  If you want to print an Indesign document, the recommended workflow is to export to PDF and converting CMYK when the pdf file. The CMYK range is smaller than RGB, so unless you're aware of this, you will have a few surprises.

  You cannot print very saturated colors with CMYK and blues often come different looking than RGB.

  If you configure the Color PS with CMYK (workspace) profile settings, you can (work in RGB) press Ctrl + Y and get a glimpse of what will look like colors in CMYK. You can even edit in this mode, tweaking colors, but of course limited by the CMYK range.

  For all this to work and get good results, you must have a calibrated monitor, and it helps it of course to have a good printer, who knows what she's doing. And, if possible, be there during printing. Printing on an offset press is not like printing on your desktop printer - there are much more variable.

• Epson Stylus Photo RX420 with Vista printer driver problem

  I have an Epson Stylus Photo RX420 Series all in one printer, copier and fax machine which worked perfectly on my old Windows XP computer.

  Unfortunately this XP computer has failed recently so I've upgraded to a new PC running Vista.

  When I try to install the Vista printer recognizes the device and research initially drivers preloaded to find the printer driver.

  He says so I need to use Windows update to download the right driver which I allow then (which is consistent with the information available on the Epson site that says I need to use Windows Update to get the correct driver).

  Windows Update, then go online and find the pilot, but finally errors saying installation fail due to a timeout problem.

  I have no other problems with Windows Update install the patches, fixes, etc. They all have download and install correctly and they should be larger in size than the printer driver.

  Any thoughts on how I can get the correct driver for this printer, download and install?

  Hi IanRP,

  I suggest to download the compatible driver for your printer from the link below and check if the problem is resolved.

  If this does not work, try to connect to the Windows Update site. To do this, visit the following Microsoft Web site and install all updates.

• LaserJet P2055DN print quality problems

  Hi all

  New to the forum but plan on using it quite frequently as I am responsible for a large group of HP printers.  The problem I have is with a printer HP Laserjet p2055dn pritner.  I feel some ghosting along the right and left a few impressions I did some research and I * think * the fuser unit is at fault, but I wanted to ask before ordering this part.

  I ran several pages of cleaning with this printer because the problem started, and although it seems to help a little, the problem never goes away completely.  It started a few months ago and the prinouts were originally just Sales, but now they're starting to ghost.

  Hello

  The problem of ghosting is caused by the fusion station most of the time. The roll of the main user has a coating Teflon preventing toner to stick, when the door of coating you starts to become the ghost of impression that you are experiencing. You can get furnaces replacement online from many sources, just do a Google search for Fuser P2055DN.
  OR you can search the HP shopping for the same site and order it.

  First of all make sure that the media you use is supported by the printer

• HP7520 printer using the photo cartridge during the printing of the documents not General and black print cartridge

  My 7520 printer uses the photo and not the General black cartridge when printing on plain paper documents. The black general still full but my photo cartridge runs out of ink.

  Hi shay!

  My apologies, I didn't know that your prints come out in blue print when you have a totally black cartridge. It is a problem of print quality with the printer or something in the settings of your computer.

  I suggest to try the steps in the guide below. You have already tried some troubleshooting, try so the steps that you have not yet tried, I understand:

  The streaks of ink fixing, faded prints and other common print quality problems

  If you're still only able to print in blue (no black print), so I recommend you call HP to let them know. As you mentioned you have only had the camera for 3 months, it is likely under warranty and you might need a spare part or unit.

  Here are the details of HP:

  If you call in North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions: click here.

  I hope this problem is solved for you, have a wonderful Wednesday

• want to 7640: very poor print quality photo

  Photos printed on our 7640 desire come out cloudy even if they were taken with a quality camera and displayed on the computer screen into bright colors. We have installed new ink cartridges and verified that the photo paper is loaded correctly. Are the only parameters that seem to affect the photo printing quality (normal selection or the best gives the same print quality) and "sharpen for printing" (checking and unchecking this box will give the same result). What other options are there to improve the photo print quality?

• Color LaserJet Pro 200 M251nw: bad Color Laserjet Pro 200 M251nw print quality

  Hello

  I've owned the above printer for 1 month and for the first two weeks, it worked fine. On his return from a week leave. When I now print the image resembles what I can only describe as if someone has dribbled water down causing the toners to face each other.  I cleaned and followed all the troubleshooting of things without success. I also checked the toner drums and they appear fine. Any help would be appreciated as I now seem to have a printer expensive usless

  Thank you

  Alan

  Hi @Al24,

  I read your post and see that when printing now, the image looks as if someone has dribbled water down causing him the toners to face each other. I will definitely do my best to help you.

  You use Genuine HP Toner?
  What are the levels of toner?

  Make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (do not use a hub or a surge protector) This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.

  Run the printer calibration.
  On the configuration of the system key touch printer, print quality, color calibration calibrate now.

  Print a diagnostic Page to see if you have the same results. Trying to determine if it is a hardware or software problem.

  Go to Setup, reports, arrow down and select diagnostic report.

  

  I have a document with several steps to run a clean and check the settings of the printer driver.

  Troubleshooting print quality problems.

  Make sure the paper type is selected and no paper said.

  Check if the drum unit for damage:

  1. remove the cartridge of toner product and check that the tape has been removed.
  2. check the memory chip for damage.
  3 examine the surface of the imaging drum on the bottom of the toner cartridge.
  CAUTION: Do not touch the roller (Imaging drum) on the bottom of the cartridge.

  His fingerprints on the imaging drum can cause print quality problems.
  4. If you see the scratches, fingerprints, toner or other damage on the imaging drum, replace the toner.
  5. If the imaging drum does not appear to be damaged, rock the toner cartridge gently several times and reinstall it. Print a few pages to see if the problem is resolved.

  The test pages come out the same?

  What kind of paper do you use?

• Print cartridge problem

  When I print, I get these pink stripes on every inch around the page on the right side of the paper.  I cleaned the roller at the back of the printer and the cartridge is new.

  Hi fb13,.

  By your post, I see that with the new toner, you get pink on each thumb around scratches in the page on the right side of the paper.
  I'll be happy to help you.

  Check if the drum unit for damage:

  1. remove the cartridge of toner product and check that the tape has been removed.
  2. check the memory chip for damage.
  3 examine the surface of the imaging drum on the bottom of the toner cartridge.

  CAUTION: Do not touch the roller (Imaging drum) on the bottom of the cartridge.

  His fingerprints on the imaging drum can cause print quality problems.

  4. If you see the scratches, fingerprints or other damage on the imaging drum, replace toner.
  5. If the imaging drum does not appear to be damaged, rock the toner cartridge gently several times and reinstall it.

  Print a few pages to see if the problem is resolved.

  Have you tried different paper. A bit of paper causes this.
  Use paper that is designed for use with laser printers. Don't use paper that is designed only for use with ink jet printers.
  Use paper that is not too rough. Generally using smooth paper translates into a better print quality.

  I have provided a document through the steps to see if it will solve this problem.

  Solving print quality problems.

  Make sure you do six/eight/nine/ten of Solution.

  Run a cleaning page through the printer. Just use regular paper.

  In the Windows notification area, right-click on the icon of the device settings, and then click the name of the product.

  NOTE: The Windows notification area is at the bottom right of your computer.

  Click the device settings tab, and then click cleaning Page.
  The cleaning process takes about two minutes.

  The cleaning page periodically stops during the cleaning process.

  Do not put off the printer until the cleaning process is completed.

  You need to repeat the cleaning process several times to clean the printer.

  What are the results of the report printing configuration? (stripes pink)

  What are the colors for the pink and in front of the pink squares squares, they are orange?

  What kind of paper do you use?

  Are you using genuine HP Toners?

  Please let me know the results.

  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums.
  Good day!
