Photosmart A716 Photo Printer INK BLURRED, JUST BLOB WET INK ON PICTURES

We used this printer for about a year without this problem, all of a sudden, the photos are versions of just blurry blob of the actual photo. It is possible to do in the photo, but the ink is super humid and fuzzy with a halo in overall effect. they are horrible and useless. We have realigned, clean the ink cartridge, print several different photo even sessions on different cameras and it's the same thing. The problem certainly lies in the printer. It is more under warranty and they help me without charge. Any ideas?

Sounds like a build up of residue of ink and paper on the rolls.

  • Photosmart 5520: Photo printing problem

    I've just set up my new printer wireless to my PC and my ipad with no problems.   I just printed photo of

    both using HP photo paper supplied with the printer, but the quality is terrible!  The ink is running in all directions and

    take ages to dry, the colors are facing eachother, what makes the image completely garbled.  I'm not a fool!, I have

    used various brands of printers over the years and found that the installation of ink cartridges is similar regardless of the brand.

    I checked then double that they are clicked in place firmly.  I followed all of the implementation procedures.

    I'm doing something wrong, or should I just try a different type of photo paper?   Printing simple text on A4 is fine.

    Hi @mum50,

    I think you are something! I suspect that the problem is probably related to the book, but it might be better to use the following document to completely solve the problem: the problems of quality Print to the HP Photosmart 5520 e-all-in-one-HP Deskjet Ink Advantage e-all-in-one 5520, Printer series.

  • HP Photosmart 7515 photo printing paper is no good

    Fine, I can print a color picture on plain paper.  When I print the same photo on glossy photo paper black clothes all look green.  My print quality diagnostic report shows NO problem.  This happens for two 4 X 6 and 8 1/2 X 11 paper.

    HP 7515 has five cartridges.  My problem was solved when I replaced the black Photo cartridge, rather than the Magenta cartridge.  The black Photo cartridge was the original cartridge of the configuration, and the Print quality Diagnostic report showed yesterday that there little ink.  But apparently not enough!

  • HP Photosmart C4640 photo printing problem

    Whenever I want to print a picture, it always comes out wrong. Only half or 75% of the photo is printed on the paper. I print almost always 4X6s. I also vertical lines appear in the photo, there is ink on the back of the photo paper. I once before changed both ink cartridges and had the printer align them (came out as normal). I recently updated my OS to Windows 8.1 and uninstalled and reinstalled the printer for this OS. I printed in color and in black and white to see if that makes a difference, and it's not. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello Spain710,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    It seems to me that this would help C4640 rollers must be cleaned with the lines on the paper and the missing part of the pictures.

    Here is a link to the proposed HP C4700 series printer roller cleaning troubleshooting: Error Message "on paper" and the printer is not Pick Up or paper feed.

  • HP PSC Photosmart 2410 - Photo printing ok on normal, but not on paper photo paper?

    Hello

    Can you help me?  I recently tried to print photos on photo paper (that I have not had problems with before), but the printing result is that colors and therefore the photos are fine for the first third of the photo book but then became pink and blue stripes.  I would have thought it was toner related but print the same photos on normal quality paper and the photo is good.

    Before I throw the current toner can anyone comment?

    Thank you

    It seems that you are low on the yellow ink.  When printing in ink mode to photo mode is used more quickly and that the cartridge is low it may not able to cope with the demand.  Plain paper using ink at a more leisurely pace and a photo can be printed correctly in plain paper mode.  A new cartridge should solve your problem.

  • Photosmart 5510 - cannot print with black just in

    I have a Photosmart HP 5510 e-All-in-one printer - B111a. I am running Mac OSX 10.8.5, running a Macbook pro mid 2012 15 inches. I am able to run Windows 8, but have not tried. I threw the magenta, cyan and yellow. I bought a new black toner cartridge. My printer does not print unless I have the magena, cyan and yellow installed. Is it possible to spend it?

    No, the cartridges must be present.  In addition, if the printer is allowed to sit for a long time with the cartridges removed the "plumbing" may become permanently blocked.

  • Photosmart C6380 all-in-One: Photo ink instead of printing ink (Dutch HP)

    My printer keeps using ink photo instead of the printer ink, but it seems to me impossible to change. I found a solution somewhere on the forum to check the box "use black ink only" in preferences > advanced > grey but it is not this option in the Dutch version...

    I have already tried several things: cleaning the printerheads, handed over to defaultsettings, try changing preferences with the HP ePrint, printermaintanence of the printingheads and cartridge, etc...

    Please help me to be able to use my printer.

    Welcome to the HP community @IrisvdL,

    I stumbled on your post about how you cannot select this option to print in "black ink only" when you try to change the settings of the printer for you Photosmart C6380 and I wanted to answer. Although I'm not familiar with the Dutch language, I suggest you make sure you download and install the full feature software and driver on your computer to have access to all the options of the printer.

  • HP Photosmart 7510 won't use photo black ink

    I have a photosmart 7510 printer and I am printing from microsoft word 2010 on a windows 8. I print a word with no pictures in document. Printer preferences are on plain paper with normal quality. I can't the printer to use the XL Black ink cartridge. It only uses photo black ink. Is there a setting that I can choose to let him use the regular black ink?

    Hi shirsar,

    I understand that you have a Photosmart 7510 which seems to use a lot more than regular black ink black photo. I'm sorry to hear that, but think I can help you with a solution.

    You can set the printer to use only black ink when printing from the PC and ensures that it uses black ink and no ink picture. My instructions will be set up in the pilot if he does for all programs (if you just want to program it please let me know, and I advise you more). You'll want to start by going to your start screen, and simply start typing devices and printers, and you want to open that (if that is not in the work Panel type and then proceed to open devices and printers). Once the devices and printers is open, right-click on your Photosmart 7510 icon and select Printing Preferences. You'll want to then click on the Advanced Options button at the bottom right of the screen. The next page that appears will allow you to set the printer to use black ink only when printing from the PC (please follow the screenshot below for any clarification).

    Hope this helps, have a nice day!

  • Excessive use of ink Photo Printer 7520

    I do not print photos but continues to go to the empty ink cartridge.  Why is the printer using ink photo when I'm not print photos?  How to do that just use the regular black ink?

    Check the paper type settings - if the paper type is set to Photo or set to automatic and detects the printer erroneously photo printer paper will not use pigmented black ink.  I suggest you choose not automatic and regular paper.

    The printer will use little ink in all colors and black to keep the printhead to become blocked.  See here for more information on how the ink is used, the Photosmart 7520 is CII in the terminology of this document...

  • stop of using photo black ink to print black text and where is past the color ink?

    My HP Photosmart Prem C310 series all-in-one is using the Photo black ink cartridge for printing of text instead of the Black XL that I put in for the printing of the text. How can I use the right to print cartridge? In addition, even if I haven't printed ANY photo and a few pages of text from the new series of color cartridges that I put in, a few months ago are almost empty. Why? How could they be almost empty when I haven't printed anything in color? This is getting ridiculous replacement cartridges every few months WHEN I WAS NOT PRINT anything!

    The ink cartridges game accompanying lasted several months. Since then, I've been through two sets in less than a year. It is 3 sets of ink cartridges when I printed only 3 photo when I first put in place. And have only used the than a 1/4 of a pack of paper to print. I put only two times more paper in it. Whenever it was an inch to 1/4 or 3/8 of a stack of thick inch of paper in the tray. I even tried to close the low printer so its not used for a long period of time, but the ink is still disappear. Where's he going? Why is it okay? How can I stop it? This is ridiculous. I may as well junk the thing even if it still works, because I can not aford to keep feeding ink when its just sitting there doing nothing most of the time.

    Thank you

    The c310a will use the photo black for printing in black if photographic Support is selected in the paper type, or if the setting is automatic and media are detected as photographic support.

    This printer has to separate supplies for printing and ink heads and little ink is required in all the colors to avoid the print head clogged.  The page here discusses how ink is used.
