Hi @Chris45324
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.
That must be so annoying—especially when you just want a crisp, clear print and it comes out looking like a ghost copy. Let’s tackle this together and get your HP Envy 6455 printing properly again.
Perform the following tasks in the order given to resolve the print quality issue with your printer. Use the printer after each task to see if the issue is resolved.
Clean the printhead (HP Smart app)
Clean the ink smears (HP Smart app)
Check ink cartridges
Very low ink levels, using non-HP cartridges, and rough handling can cause print quality issues.
Check the paper, print settings, and quality of the file being printed
Print an alignment page with the HP Smart App
For detailed instructions on how to perform the above steps, please click on the link below:
