Check print quality and the print head

The most common problem with an inkjet printer is poor print quality. You need to check print head first when you have a low-quality print in your hand. Replace the print head along with ink cartridge is the best solution for the long lasting performance of your printer.

Check and cleaning the print head

Sometimes we clean the surface of the printer head by using a cotton swab. After cleaning the printer head, use a paper towel to gently wipe off extra ink on the print head. When you are done with cleaning, turn the printer on and run the printer’s built-in cleaning process for more clear prints.

Check the print head ribbon

Sometimes, print head cleaning does not fix the problem. White lines can occur because of dirt print head. Print head ribbon can be a cause for bad printing. So, you need to check the print head ribbon properly.

Clean paper dust

When a printer is continually used paper dust interfering with an electric connection can be caused for the white lines in printing. Just remove the dust, unplug the printer and clean the print head’s electrical contacts with alcohol swabs. Always make sure that the alcohol has dried completely before inserting the ink cartridge.
