Top Tips for Getting Seamless Prints

19/10/2024

Whether you're printing important documents, beautiful photos, or creative designs, getting a seamless, high-quality print is key. However, if you've ever struggled with paper jams, blurry text, or uneven colours, you're not alone. Here are some top tips to help you achieve flawless prints every time, no matter what you're printing.

1. Choose the Right Paper

The quality of your print starts with the paper you use. Not all paper is created equal—using the wrong type can lead to poor results, like smudging or fading. For sharp text and vibrant colours, it's worth investing in high-quality paper suited to your printer and the type of job you're doing. Whether you’re printing documents or glossy photos, matching the paper to the task ensures a more polished final result. Check out our range of paper options to find the perfect match for your printing needs.

2. Keep Your Printer Clean

A clean printer is a happy printer. Dust and debris can cause paper jams, streaks, or ink blotches, affecting the overall print quality. Regularly cleaning your printer’s rollers and printhead can help prevent these issues. Most printers, like those available at Cartridge World, have a self-cleaning option, but it’s always good to give your printer a manual clean now and then to keep it running smoothly.

3. Use Quality Ink or Toner

Using low-quality or incompatible ink cartridges can result in poor prints. To ensure top quality at a lower cost, choose our compatible remanufactured toner and compatible refilled name-brand ink cartridges. Our own brand of inkjet cartridges uses the finest ink, offering XL high yield that provides excellent value for money. 

4. Check Your Print Settings

Before hitting ‘print’, double-check your printer settings. You’d be surprised how much difference a small tweak can make. For documents with lots of detail, set your printer to the highest quality setting. If you’re printing photos, make sure to select the correct paper type in the settings. Taking the extra minute to adjust your settings can turn a decent print into an outstanding one.

5. Stay Ahead with Infinity Subscription
