Causes of Blurry Prints on Canon PIXMA TS3522

If you need specific directions let us know.

Blurry prints from the Canon PIXMA TS3522 can result from several common issues. Here are the main causes:

Low Ink Levels

Insufficient Ink: Low ink levels can lead to faded or blurry prints. Even if cartridges appear to have ink, they may not have enough pressure to spray ink cleanly.
Check Ink Status: Access the printer's settings to check the ink levels. If any cartridges are low, consider replacing them.

Misaligned Print Heads

Alignment Issues: If the print heads are not properly aligned, it can cause misprints and blurriness.
Alignment Check: Perform a print head alignment through the printer's maintenance settings to ensure proper functioning.

Dirty Print Heads

Clogged Nozzles: Dust or dried ink can clog the print heads, affecting print quality.
Cleaning Process: Run a print head cleaning cycle from the printer's maintenance menu. This process helps clear any blockages.
