Do you get a perfect text print from the nozzle check as well? Might be that the heads need a clean if the text print isn't perfect.

You will need to resolve this first, ideally.
Or, try printing at BEST PHOTO or the next level up in photo print quality. Also remove the HIGH SPEED tick to see if all that helps.

Is this printing onto trupix paper with the bright White side up? The quality doesn't look fantastic from the scan so I'm wondering if there is a problem with the print out. Check the head alignment as well ad the nozzle check pattern. The print should look richer on paper than the scan shows.

Hi This is printed on your economy paper, It's part of a A4 picture that i scanned using printer scanner so looks rubbish anyway then cropped it.

i've ran nozzle check and coming back fine done head alignment also.

Printer was working great but lardlord had electricians in doing work and they turned power off without telling me and printer was busy printing when i started computer up again and printed picture the problems started.
