  • Bad print quality with the new cartridge

    I replaced the cartridge on my HP Photosmart c4680 printer a few weeks ago and the print quality looks as if it is low on ink. I followed the instructions on alignment after installation and made sure that I installed the new cartridge. There is no prompt that the ink is low. The other weird thing is sometimes the printer does not start when I turn it on. The screen reads HP and he begins to beep every 10-15 seconds or more. This problem occurs intermittently, but began after the installation of the new cartridge. Would appreciate any help to solve these problems.

    (1) pull the cartridge out and reinsert it, if there is a latch to ensure she fully locking up.

    (2) your HP software for the printer should include several utilities, one such utility is to print a page of 'Test '. Run that usually it will clean the print head.

  • HP Photosmart Premium C410b: printing using panoramic photo paper

    Hello

    Is anyone able to tell me how to print using A4 panoramic photo size.

    Thank you

    Hi @Silverback2,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that you are curious how to print on A4 panoramic photo on your HP Photosmart Premium C410b printer paper. I'd be happy to help you and don't forget to come back to this thread and check "Accept as Solution", if I have successfully helped solve you the problem.

    Your printer is not designed to print on that size of paper. If you want to print on the paper, I think that a DesignJet is better suited for these types of photos.

  • Photosmart 5520 of printing quality

    I recently bought a photosmart 5520. It's my fourth HP printer. So far, I've been more than happy with the HP printers and that's why I've stuck with them.

    I am extremely disappointed by the print quality of the 5520. When you print a document in black Black is almost gray. It just doesn't seem to be enough ink and when printing photo skin tones are not accurate. It seems to be too much red.

    I got a deskjet 2180, which is only a printer not expensive but the quality of the print is much better than the print quality of the 5520.

    I want to know y at - it a setting that I can do to improve the print quality of my 5520 or is it a matter of "what I see, this is what I get.

    Please notify. I await your response.

  • Control of printing quality of the touchscreen on the MG6320

    1. can I set print quality (i.e. - choose Project/fast mode) the touch screen?

    2, if I can and set it there, my choice will apply to all future print jobs until I have change the new setting, or just apply to a print job in the queue in time, etc?

  • Print quality of the placed PSD files

    Goodmorning,

    We have a database of labels created in Photoshop. When you want to print several of them on larger paperformat, put us in an Indesign file. When we print, small texts come out all fuzzy. When I save the PSD to PDF or EPS and that place in InDesign, the text is much clearer.

    The PSD file consists of layers and the text is all in text layers.

    We use CS6.

    Is there a setting that improves the print quality of the PSD files from any registration as a PDF file is a LOT of work.

    Thanks in advance

    Type in Photoshop is rasterized when saved as PSD or EPS. If you want to keep it as a vector type, save them in PDF format. Does that is not to say that if you open a PSD with live type in Photoshop that the type is no longer the category, but when placed in InDesign, it's raster data if it's a PSD.

    Of course, the real question is why you create labels in Photoshop?

    Moreover, if you have a lot of PSD files you want to convert to PDF, you can do with an action or a droplet and the work will be done very quickly with little effort.

  • My Photosmart Premium stopped printing yellow or green on the photos! With the help of HP ink cartridges

    My Photosmart Premium All in One C410a is now printing photos that go far too not blue - no yellows or Greens.  Use the HP cartridges, and all are at least half full.  Help! A perfectly printed in the past.

    I am trying to print from iPhoto, which Ive done hundreds of times and am on premium glossy inkjet photo paper (a new package, incidentally).  I have not changed the settings recently when printing.  Flash Info - just ran a report of print quality and also checked the settings.  Then I printed the same image that I had tried before, and it seems very well!  Have no idea why, but it looks like Im back in business! Wahoo.  Thanks a lot for me having to check so many places.  Must have done something right just now!

  • Photosmart Premium ink cartridge stuck on the right side of the printer.

    I have a HP Photosmart Premium printer, the ink cartridge is stuck on the right side of the printer. Keep receiving an error message that says: "remove paper jam and then press ok.  I did all the steps to clear any torn or ripped from the inside of the printer paper, there was never any paper in there for blocking up inside anyway. When I opened the top of the printer my container of cartridge will not move at all, he's stuck.  It won't control the printer or by my own doing when the printer is turned off without being able to. The error and lack of time with my printer cartridge do not allow me to use the printer, I hope you can help me in anyway possible. Thank you.

    It seems you have a carriage jam. Sometimes it can be a sensor that is bad and can not work properly. Here is a link that will help to transport jam

  • Photosmart Premium C310a printing blank Pages

    I have a printer Photosmart Premium C310a that I already returned a printer to the store for this same problem. After that initial set-up of the printer was working fine (not to mention that the white lines printed in the photos, but I could deal with it). As I said, I returned the first because I couldn't get the printer to print anything. Would make sounds as it was printing, but then spit on a blank page, no matter how, I have printed or copied. I changed the ink in new ink and still no luck. When I tried to align the cartridges he caught around for a while and then he said "alignment failed". So I took the product back and it replaced. Got a new and same exact situation happened. Installed and worked great... Using the same ink that wasn't on the previous printer... Now, two days later only puts on white paper... Help, please.

    Thank you

    Matt

  • HP Photosmart B110a - poor print quality

    Hello

    I have a HP Photosmart B110a CN245B and I use Mac OS X Lion version 10.7.2.

    I bought this HP Photosmart camera in the month of August, I changed the black cartridge once and it worked well. But now, replacing the black cartridge for the second time, I had a few problems. Printing is faded, I can barely read what is written on the page, even if I chose 'Grayscale - black print cartridge only' and 'Best quality'... the print quality is very bad. What can I do?

    Thank you very much!

    I think that the printhead has failed.  It should be under warranty.  Here's how to contact HP technical support: www.hp.com/go/totalcare

  • Photosmart Premium C309g - print in color, not black

    I have a Photosmart Premium C309g which, until a day or two before, worked very well. Black ink does not work.

    I tried already. .

    • Change both black cartridges (regular and photo)
    • Cleaning
    • Alignment (when I try to align printer says "Alignment failed."

    Print fine - but not black color.

    Problem happens both when printing from a computer, as well as select black copy then copy - gives only a blank page.

    Printer on a network and is used for both Mac and Windows 7.

    You can give me any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Try the suggestion in this thread to soak the printhead.

  • No black on Photosmart Premium C309g print

    Is my regular black ink stopped printing completely.

    I changed the cartridge and it will not print or copy of black.

    The printer also gives an error message when trying to align the cartridges.

    Thought that the cartridge may be faulty but tried a second without change.

    Otherwise, the printer responds to commands and prints with color inks but no black (no picture).

    Help, please!

    If the printer is on a guaranteed thing might be worth the time soak the print head, as described below...

    (1) get a pan and put 1/2 "of very hot (not boiling) water in the bottom.
    (2) remove all ink cartridges, then remove the print head Assembly.
    (3) gently put the printhead nozzles down in water and soak for 5 minutes.
    (4) remove the print head and gently dry the electrical contacts.
    (5) replace the print head in the printer and then reinstall the ink cartridges.

    Hi Diane235,

    Thank you for answering my questions!

    The problem could certainly be with Google Chrome, I've seen that happen before.

    I would try to print from other programs to check. Again, please try to print something just to see if the printer prints Notepad or Internet Explorer. If so, then we will know with certainty whether or not the problem is with Google Chrome.

    I hope hear from you soon!
