Black print not crisp, changed recycled carthrage twice, color print is crisp. Black print at smaller print has showdow, line print has showdows colr print is crisp.Reinstalled driver from PC list on driver. I am using windows xp.

Get the latest driver from Canon's web site. Then uninstall the printer. Remove the driver from your computer. Use regedit to remove any traces of your printer from your registry. Install the new driver. That should do it.

I have a brother MFC 3240C. My Black ink stopped printing(initially printed horizontal faded lines and gradually got worse), the other colors were printing fine. I tried cleaning numerous time( 50 -100 times over 1-2 weeks ). Still no improvement. The way I print now is:
1. I go to Printer Properties
2. Change Media type from "Plain Paper" to "Inkjet Paper".
3. Change Quality to "Photo".

This takes a long time to print 1-2 minutes per page. However, this works for me since this is my Home printer and use it for printing only few pages here are there. Better than throwing the printer.

Good Luck

ya mine also same when i refilled my catridge. im using canon printer. this is because of the color of cartridge u just refilled..........

Please check your printer setup. from the document you are printing. Choose the printer from the FILE menu (depending on what program you are running) Printer SEtup or Properties, somewhere you will find an option, Print in color? or Black, Click on the Black., come out of the menu and then print, I am pretty sure you have chosen color.
Hope this will fix your problem.

Simply put...you cannot. The smaller cart is the dye black, which is used for picture printing. The larger is the pigment black which is used for text printing. You could try printing text as artwork, but i'm not sure this will work, besides, dye ink will bleed on regular paper and not look so crisp.

the jet is clogged... set the self clean mode on if this does not fix it try another cartridge. if you have been using refilled, recycled cartridges this may have damaged the jets. common fault that recyclers know about but dont give a toss. ink should be filtered 9 times before being injected into cartridge most recyled are filtered once. this causes jets to become blocked, overheat and actually melt

try to clean the class of the machine, if its still there, this means the black drum is scratched since its fine with other colors, to test it very good open the document feeder(put it up) and hit start buttom(without putting anypaper on class), black paper will come out, check if the line there, if yeah, change the black drum.
let me know wat happen Regards

hmm...maybe your print drivers went off line?

remove them, and go here for a fresh set

happens sometimes from power glitches

Even though I changed my black and colored ink cartridges twice, the printer still prints blank pages. What should I do?
