The colors on your computer monitor
might differ from the device output.
If extremely light colors or extremely dark
colors on screen are not printing, your
software program might interpret
extremely light colors as white or
extremely dark colors as black.
If possible, avoid using extremely light or
extremely dark colors.
The media might not meet HP
specifications.
Use a different paper, such as high-
quality paper that is intended for color
laser printers.
The finish on the printed color page is
inconsistent.
The media might be too rough.
Use a smooth paper or print media, such
as a high-quality paper that is made for
color laser printers. Generally, smoother
media produces better the results.
