Hi @blitzzone,

Welcome to the HP Support Community

I understand you're experiencing color print quality issues with your HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M281cdw printer, there are several steps you can take to troubleshoot and improve the output:

• Check Toner Levels: Ensure that the toner cartridges have sufficient toner. Low toner levels can result in faded or inaccurate colors. Replace any cartridges that are low or empty.
• Calibrate the Printer: Many printers, including the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M281cdw, have a calibration option in the settings menu. This feature helps align the printer's colors for accurate printing. Refer to your printer's manual for instructions on how to perform calibration.
• Use High-Quality Paper: Low-quality paper can affect print quality. Make sure you're using paper that is compatible with your printer and is designed for color printing.
• Check Print Settings: Ensure that you're using the correct print settings for your document. Select the appropriate paper type and quality settings in the print dialog box on your computer.
• Update Printer Drivers: Make sure you have the latest printer drivers installed on your computer. Outdated drivers can sometimes cause printing issues.
• Clean the Printer: Dust and debris inside the printer can affect print quality. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently clean the exterior and interior of the printer. Be careful not to touch the imaging drum or transfer belt.
• Run Diagnostic Tools: Some printers have built-in diagnostic tools that can help identify and resolve printing issues. Check your printer's manual or HP's website for information on diagnostic tools specific to your model.
