I am an experienced graphic artist and am very thorough with my printing jobs.  I am trying to print a 2 sided announcement and the crop marks or graphics on each side are not lining up. I have checked and double checked my measurements and centering.  I go to cut on crop marks and one side or the other isn't registering precisely. Very frustrating.  My last printer was always right on and about the same grade as this one.  Am I expecting too much?

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

 

What is the size and type of paper being used? Does this happen with all apps?

 

Let's align the printhead: From the printer control panel display, touch Setup. Touch Printer Maintenance, select Align Printhead, and then follow the on-screen instructions.

 

Let me know if this helps.

 

If the information I've provided was helpful, give us some reinforcement by clicking the "Accept as solution" button, that'll help us and others see that we've got the answers!

 

Thanks!

Have a great day!
