    What printer do you have?
    Also, check the printer manual, look for instructions on how to clean the print head, this should help improve the colour. Though you uploaded them your phone? It doesn't sound like a phone would give you a high quality photo.

    Did you use the correct ink cartridges or campatible ones...cos sometimes the compatible ones are not of the same standard
  • hi talking of printers can any body help me, ive recently heard that Epsom Printers dated after March 07 won there case in court that there printers can now be prevented from using compatible inks, i brought my D92 in april this year, luckily have found a site called Valueshop.co.uk that sell the four Epsom Ultra brite colours for £22.02 inc Vat & P&P that is very good value.:j


    Have had problems with compatibles wouldnt recognise them but got on ok with the recyled version which are on www.inkcycle.co.uk unfortuneately out of order at the moment but are cheaper.
    Has anyone else heard of this? Not sure if someones pulling my leg:rolleyes:
    Thanks firedragon:smileyhea
