Splotchy or White Lines through your text?

Please note that these tips should only be performed on cartridges that DO NOT contain a Printhead.

Here are a few tips that may correct less than desirable prints:

Remove the cartridge from your printer. Wrap it in a paper towel, and tap it against a hard surface. Sometimes there are air bubbles in the cartridges. If this is the case then tapping it should dislodge it. You should get some dots of ink on the paper towel. Place the cartridge back in the printer, and try printing again.

Another thing you should try, if you have not done so already, is to do a Nozzle Check followed by several Print Head Cleanings. These are features found on most printers. Your printer manual should provide instructions on how to carry this out. In the event it does not, with a document open, simply go to File/Print. Click on the Properties button next to the printer selection. Then click on the Utility tab. The Nozzle Check and Print Head Cleaning functions will be listed there.

If neither of these help, please let us know so that we can work together to get you up an running as soon as possible!
