Tips for my black calligraphy... What is the difference between photo or Scan Documents scanner... Can do 200 300 or 600 dpi... JPEG is better?... When I scan my original artwork my scan prints black and crispy... Amazing! is all from time to time, it is perfect and I don't know what I'm allowed!

Hi @Darlene12,

Thank you for joining the Forums of HP Support!

I see that you would like to know how to analyze your work of calligraphy on your computer and scans are not always clear and precise. I will definitely do my best to help you and don't forget to come back to this thread and mark "Accept as Solution", if I have successfully helped solve you the problem. If you want to say 'Thank you' to my effort to help, click on the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos.

I would scan your calligraphy with 600 dpi or higher in TIFF or PDF format. As photo, rather than a document. The size of the file increases, but would greatly improve the quality.

I hope this information is useful. Please reply to this message with the results. Good luck!

  • Photosmart 5520 black ink cartridge not working not

    I have the same problemwith Photosmart 5520, black ink, it's not working

    A few hours ago, I bought a new cartridge. Because the return, we were out of ink and... I changed (for the second time since I bought the printer) and after that... the printer does not print black ink more.  I bought the printer at ElGiganten, Copenhagen, Denmark. I wasn't expecting to find unwanted product on the market, the Danmark. I wasn't expecting HP to deceive people so much. I checked here on the site if the printer, it's still in warranty... not even an answer. So I spend almost 5 hours to check all the * solutions * I try, the printer still give me blank pages.

    The ink on the new cartridge is now... 45% or something. How his as possible! If the pages came out completely of white100 euro, in the trash, past time for anything on this site/forum... I do not understand how you are allowed to sell bad products on the market.

    For HP, you have deceived many people including me, I hope you will take away from the market, at least to the Danmark.

  • Irregular quality printing HP Photosmart C7280 black

    Black letters are irrelgular quality, some of the page either crispy, then a few lines are blurred, twisted or just simply not clearly (see iamge below). All the colors are fine and precise. I did all the cleaning routines, even cleaned the printhead (through the opening at the bottom). Cartridge is full.

    Is originally a bad cartridge or going to the print head? The printer is a few years with moderate use.

    When you have performed the task of cleaning print head using the front of the printer, did you just 1 or all 3 levels?  I advise to all 3 levels to try to force ink through ports to make them disappear.  In addition, the printer aligns with success if you tell the printer to complete a cycle of alignment?

    I'd also take a look at the document troubleshooting quality printing found here for the Photosmart C7280.

    If you complete all steps and the problem persists, then I advise to try another cartridge to remove if the problem is hardware for printer or a problem with the print cartridge.

    However, if you change the cartridge and the problem persists, then it's a hardware problem with the printhead internally and the next step will be the replacement of the product.  If you are still in warranty, HP can replace the printer without cost to you. I'll link the information to get in touch with them below. The link takes you to a form to fill out. Once you fill it and she is treated, it will give you the printers warranty information, a file number and the phone number to call.

  • Photosmart 7510 - black ink cartridge does not print

    Recently, I replaced the ink cartridges on my Photosmart 7510 C311A. These are all the "genuine HP cartridges ', full.

    Black ink (with the symbol of the Pentagon) does not print, not at all. I ran through the standard troubleshooting steps:

    Cleaning of printheads

    Cleaning of copper contacts

    * Check for a good evacuation

    My colleague in the corridor as the printer even so I borrowed his black ink cartridge and tried: same problem. The printer does not record that there is a problem, but when I run printing tests, where there should be a black ink, there is absolutely none. All other colors print correctly.

    The printer doesn't lack NOT of the printer "align" test however does not offer a suggestion of what to do from there. I've not seen - in test reports - an indiciation of the misalignment.

    Suggestions on what to do now?

    I had the same problem. I had replaced the empty cartridge black and suddenly, no ink. Finally, what has worked is
    (1) I removed all the cartridges and cleaned the copper connectors with wet Publix.
    (2) I got a wet paper towel and he pressed repeatedly on the silver circular vent that would be under the black cartridge. I did until no black came. Let it dry.
    (3) I replaced all the cartridges and on the printer. I went to tools/clean the cartridge. I did it a couple of times and he finally printed black ink! I confirmed by going to tools/align, and align the cartridges successfully. He had kept before crashes when the black ink did not work.

  • HP B210a Photosmart: not black not printing

    I read all the similar posts on this problem but still can not my black printing ink.

    I was to have absolutely NO problems printing, but needed to replace my cartridges.  Did, with the new ink HP 564, but now the black does not print.  I replaced the black with a new cartridge.  For the color ink levels are now less than half (from all the pages of diagnostics, impression I guess), the black is full.     I did everything what I can do. all instructions from HP, including soaking them head printing (only once).  I get the error 'ink system failure' and when I try to align the cartridges, it still fails.   When I reset the printer, I get error Oxc19a0013 and follow all the instructions to resolve the issue.   After all this, I resorted to buying a new print head, but I always meet the same problems.  Help, please.  Maybe it's time for a new printer thanks for any help.  It seems that it is a fairly common-HP problem can something to help?

    On a hunch, I turned everything off-router, modem, PC, printer.  Now, the prints in black, but the colors don't. The estimated ink levels are OK.  Copy and print are the same black only.  He keeps asking me to realign the print head, I already did several times.   What happens here?

    Hi, I have a photosmart B110A and black stopped printing.  Was working fine before this problem.

    A lot of ink but I have replace the cartridge with a new one and same problem.  A ran all alignment head cleaning tests, etc. Reinstall the cartridge.  Clean the vent on the top of the cartridge.  Powered on.  Still nothing.

    Is there a solution to this problem?

    Thank you very much, this seems to have solved the problem.  Although I have consumed a lot of ink there are now no remains in the cartridges that I will need to replace before I can be 100%

  • Photosmart 7525 - Black XL boxed is photo cartridge

    I bought HP 564XL real black cartridges for my printer Photosmart 7525 - but they were too big and did not return.  I contacted HP CAT, and we discovered that 564XL area contained 564XL rather than the regular black cartridge 564XL photo cartridges.  Real cartridges show black "Pentagon", which represents the photo cartridge, but the HP box, it came in do NOT say they are photo cartridges.  Error on the packaging manufacturing site, I guess.  In any case - beware!

    OK, now we are getting somewhere.  The cartridge with the symbol of the butterfly is the Photo cartridge, it is that you will need.  The Black cartridge is the one with the symbol of the Pentagon, as stated in my previous post above.

    The Photo cartridge is the same width as the color cartridges, the black cartridge is wider.

    You need to buy a Photo, here's an example cartridge.

    I used the print and scan doctor who found no problems. I checked that the software is the latest version as well cleaned glass as suggested on the Helpsite but with no improvement.

    I have had the printer for less than 6 months and would appreciate any suggestions.
