Canon printer black print comes out blurred

Cleaning the print head and replacing the ribbon should take care of this for you

Blurred print may be caused by a dirty print-head - remove and wash with clean warm water. Dry with paper towel and retry.

Blurred print may also be caused by a print-head alignment fault. First check that there are no paper fragments at either end of the print path inside the machine. Then go to the maintenance section either on the printer or in the computer printers folder and perform a nozzle check, print head clean and print alignment. in that order

Does the printer scan OK?

Is the platen glass clean?

Have you checked to be sure that -

• you've designated the paper type as one of the photo type papers?
• you've designated the print quality as either Normal or Best (NOT Draft or Quick or similar low-quality print)?
• you're using one of the photo-type papers?
• none of the ink cartridges is low on ink?

Align the print cartridges after installing them to improve print quality. To do this:




1. Load plain paper.

2. Open the Lexmark Solution Center.

3. From the Maintenance tab, click Align to fix blurry edges.

4. Click Print.

Hope that helps.

Defective main motor
• Image transfer belt out of position
• Belt mark blurred or absent

Right from the service manual
My best guess is belt mark blurred or missing
or image belt out of position

i have the same problem. repeated cleanings seem to help, when i print large fonts they come out pretty clear, but the smaller the font, the worse the blurring. 600 DPI prints mismatching patterns, but 1200 DPI prints perfectly fine. so i have found that printing on "fine" quality instead of "fast" or "normal" quality improves print quality ALOT. it uses more ink, but i am in business and need to be able to read very fine print!
