Hi @Wilco3,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community

 

 I'd like to help!

 

I understand you are facing print quality issue.

 

To assist  better-

 

1) Does the copy print out the same way? 

2) What's the application you are trying to print from? Have you tried printing from a different application or devices? 

 

While you respond to that, let's print a Print Quality Diagnostic page -
