HP Print Quality Problem
in [Printers]
|
From: Andy Baker on 9 Mar 2010 06:07 We have a HP Officejet J5780 printer that has developed a printing problem that I have not seen before. When I print a page the top of the page starts off fine then the quality gradually gets worse as it goes down the page until by the middle of the page it is so faint it is unreadable. I have tried changing the black cartridge (it only affects the black print), cleaning the head/cartridge using a coffee filter and bottled water and taking out the black cartridge and leaving it to stand for a couple of hours both of which were suggested on the HP website. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Andy Baker

From: Andy Baker on 17 Mar 2010 04:47 Not 'offline' - starts off fine - the top of the page is always readable then further on down the page the print gradulally gets fainter. If I then print another page it is the same.

From: Arthur Entlich on 17 Mar 2010 09:30 I am assuming this is an inkjet printer. This sounds like a bad cartridge which is developing a vacuum or ink starvation. I know you mentioned you tried a different cartridge, but could both be "bad" (expired, too old, dried out, etc?
