Hi all,
Whenever I print something that is entirely black, ie a solid black rectangle, the black always comes out 'patchy' - there are visible black dots that are darker than the background. Bit hard to explain but this image is a good example of what I mean:
No other colours have this problem, it's just black. So far I've tried:
- Gloss paper (light and heavy)
- Photo paper
- Regular A4 copy paper (it was noticeably better here, but not as good as all the other colours)
- Heavy paper (300gsm)
- Running through all the printers cleaning/aligning
- Trying various combations of print settings, including different paper types, quality presents, colour settings etc
- Tried printing from various file types
- Tried RGB and CMYK
- Disabling and enabling colour management on the printer itself
Nothing really seems to work! Any ideas? I had though of trying another set of black cartridges but I don't want to go out and buy more stuff if it's a problem with the printer itself.
Cheers!
