Hi all,
Could someone help me please,
I was printing some documents when the text started to look smeared and dirty so I decided to change the black cartage as it was very low.
After doing so the printed text still looked smeared and dirty. I have done a auto head clean a few times but it is no better.
Could someone give me any advice on the matter please.
Regards Wev
