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 -
