Poor quality of printing after inactivity

I hadn't used my printer J6480 for awhile, at least 6 months, and now reuse I'm getting poor print quality.  The color is weak and inconsistent, includes everything black.  Sometimes, it seems that some points are not shoot the printhead - if that's the way it works.  I went to tools and cleaned the print heads several times which improves it temporarily, but it degrades very quickly again.  Is that, if all goes well, just a cartridge problem or is likely to be something else?  Thank you.

43,

Ink has a limited life.  It's sad, I know.  The ink in the printer can be simply 'old' beyond his actual age.

I have an old J6480, I occasionally use only - it's Aussie a good printer that I keep despite the fact that I might have to change the cartridges more frequently when the unit is actually out of ink.

You can change on the cartridges, so you are not coated the inside of the printer with old ink.

If you don't use the printer very often, he does not seem to help keep stored in a cabinet: dark and firm where there are not differences of light, dust, moisture or temperature.  I keep the J6480 in a closet across the House and use wireless on every six months.

You may need to re-run the operation of cleaning a couple of times after that you do not change the ink; change the cartridges, test and then decide.

Click on the star of congratulations !

It's a nice way of saying 'Thank you' for help.

  • Satellite X 200-response of poor quality for the finger print scans

    Hello

    The scanner on my X 200 finger printing has recently begun to return a response of 'Poor quality' finger scans for Windows Vista logon.
    He had worked flawlessly since purchase, but all of a sudden (not gradually anyway) stopped scans for connect.

    My first thought is maybe a Windows update broke something but I know not where search, everyone has seen or heard talk about it or know how to solve the problem, I can hardly believe that it is a hardware problem, that one day he was working the next day it wasn't.

    Thanks in advance,

  • DeskJet 1050 - J410a: HP Deskjet 1050 does not print after upgrade of Windows 10

    Dear forum,

    I recently upgraded my HP Windows OS 8.1 for Windows 10 desktop computer. My deskjet 1050 printer, which worked fine before the upgrade, does not properly more print after the upgrade.

    I used HP Print and Scan Doctor several times, indicating no any problems. I am able to scan documents, the question is limited to printing. I also deleted and reinstalled the drivers at least 2 times (and restarted all systems on a regular basis).

    • A "test print" works very well.
    • When I print a PDF from the edge, the printer creates output but not good quality.
    • When I print an office word document, pages came out empty.

    3 cases have a common behavior, whenever I get an error message. "Morning maken puts printer niet mogelijk. Duch is for "cannot connect to the printer.".

    Do you have any tips for me?

    With sincere friendships.

    HeyPieter_Belgium

    Welcome to the HP Forums, I'd love to help you with printing problems you encounter. Although I am not sure what is cause of the error of communication, or of poor quality, I suspect it has something to with the pilot and the recent upgrade. I suggest to uninstall the software, remove the Chuck from the properties of the server, and then put it back using the printer Installation Wizard. I will list the links and instructions below to help you in each of these steps.

    HP printers - uninstalling the software of the printer (Windows)

    Remove the driver from the print server properties:

    1. in the folder "devices and printers".

    2. choose "print server properties.

    • Win XP - with no printer selected, click 'File' then 'server properties '.
    • Windows Vista - with no printer selected, press 'Alt' and then click 'file' then 'server properties '.
    • Windows 7/8, 8.1 and 10 -select any printer in the "Devices and printers" folder and click on "Print server properties" above.

    3. click on the "Drivers" tab at the top of the window "properties of the print server.

    4. choose the printer that you want to uninstall, and then click 'remove '.

    5. choose "Remove driver only.

    6. the next screen will give a warning, letting you know that the removal of the driver package will remove it from the system. Click 'Yes' to say are you sure you want to do.

    If documents are stuck in the spooler to print, you see an error, cancel all documents waiting in the print queue or try restart the spooler to print, and then try to delete the driver from 'Print server properties' again. If she will not always remove the sachet, restart the computer and the printer should correct this error "in use" and allow the driver to be removed.

    Download and run the Installation Wizard for printer: www.HP.com/go/Tools

  • Poor quality and poor framerate with best export settings

    Hello, this is my first post, I searched the forums, watch videos on youtube, etc, but don't never came across something like this before, but anyway let's get down to the heart of the problem at a time!

    I am currently using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 (Version 6.0.2)

    Specifications of the PC

    -Intel Core i7-4720HQ CPU @ 2.60 GHz

    -16 GB OF RAM

    GTX - 960 M graphics card

    The problem:

    I have been using CS6 6 months now and not had a problem since day one.

    The videos that I do are gameplay videos captured at 60 fps 1080 p with 36857 Kbps Total bitrate.

    The videos where export with large 60 fps framerate, quality, as it should in the first place.

    But everything changed one day after I did everything with the same agenda, as I did each time and video when exported was of poor quality and the rate was 30 frames per second.

    BUT, when I am trying to check the properties of the video exported, everything is as I put is on the export settings, even if the vacuum has dicreased quality and bad frame rate (30 fps) up.

    I am exporting as follows:

    -Format: H.264

    -Basic video settings:

    -Width: height of 1920 1080

    -Frame rate: 59.94

    -Order of fields: Progressive (it doesn't let me change it)

    -Appearance: Square Pixels (1.0)

    Tv - standard: NTSC

    -Profile: high

    -Level: 4.2

    -Rendering to maximum depth (verified)

    Flow settings:

    -Bitrate VBR, 2 pass encoding (I also made 2 pass, but had the same effect)

    -Target speed [Mbps]: 36,82

    -Maximum Bitrate [Mbps]: 62.5

    Advanced settings:

    -Key Frame Distance 72 (verified)

    Use maximum quality rendering (verified) use Previews (verified)

    I finally understood everything!

    So when I started the project for some reason, I had chosen under the option 'Make and video playback' Renderer: Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (CUDA) instead of Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (Open CL).

    After that everything worked perfectly as it should in the first place.

    Thanks to everyone who tried to help me understand my annoying error!

  • Poor quality PDF problem revisited.

    A week or two ago I posted a problem I had with the PDF text of very poor quality (on screen) Although the print settings high quality with built-in fonts. I am running Windows 7 Professional, producing the document in Corel draw X 3, and Acrobat X 10.1.0.

    I have not solved this problem, but I continued the development of the document. At one point I got a PDF output for purposes of evidence and I found that fonts look sharp and as I expect. Then I loaded the previous document with fonts of poor quality for the purposes of comparison. The old document now also went well! I checked in Acrobat and the two documents was incorporated Callibri police. However the next time that I produced a pdf file of the quality of the police was bad again. I copied the two PDF files to a memory stick and checked on several other computers running Acrobat reader. They all went well. I then printed the PDF currently running on the computer with a low resolution and it printed with very large fonts. I've experimented with different levels of zoom and the fonts look poor little matter I do.

    It seems that poor policies are specific to the computer on which I run Acrobat pro and also appears that this problem is intermittent. I looked through various settings in Acrobat pro that can affect the appearance of the font, but I was not able to identify the source of the problem.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Murray

    You probably need to go to the preferences and turn on anti-aliasing in the display preferences. This provides a better representation of images and fonts on a LCD (which most are today).

  • Satellite C660D webcam very poor quality

    Hello

    I bought my laptop 2 weeks ago and have only begun to use my webcam today.
    It is of very poor quality and flashes.
    What happens during the day in a good light as well when it's dark outside with light.

    My os is windows7 x 64.
    Yes, the plastic film is out of the front of it, I checked.
    I reinstalled the driver twice and is still the same poor quality.
    I restarted the process in both Device Manager.

    Please help I can't think of anything I can do.

    I put t know which model of laptop you have, but Satellite C660D has generally not HD cam but 0.3 M Pixcel camera only. And with this cam, you can't expect excellent image.

    There is nothing you can do. If the cam is installed properly, you can just try change the settings of the cam in the hope that the image will be a little better.
    When I compare 0, 3 m pixcel cam on old L300 and now 1.0 M (HD) Pxcel camera into my new P500 the difference is simply huge.

Help!

    Hi @savra,

    If your computer is connected to the printer on a wireless network, you do not want to send print jobs to the network printer.

    Here is a support document to help with printer after Windows 10 upgrade problems - after Windows 10 Upgrade, printer problems occur.

    Aside to make sure Windows updates are up to date, there are a few other updates that can help with printing.

    Microsoft has released an update that is supposed to help with wireless printing - Cumulative Update for Windows 10.

    There was also an update for Adobe Flash Player in Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge who can help get this impression of your bank's site - Update for Adobe Flash Player.

    Please let me know how it goes.
