Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP (64-bit)

Hello HP Community, 

 

I have the Color LaserJet Pro MFP M281cdw for about 6 months. I calibrated many times and the print color isn't aligning with the image. If you look closely, the color image looks a little blurry. Please view image example attached. How can I solve this issue?

Best option is to perform an NVRAM reset,  see YouTube for video.  This will clear all current calibrations and any corrupt values that exist. You may need to run the calibration routines a couple times to get everything just right.

If you find the information provided useful or solves your problems, help other users find the solution easier by giving kudos and marking my post as an accepted solution.

Thank you! I still see a bit of a misalignment when printing. I did a few Calibration instances. however, it does not fix the issue fully. What can I do next?
