Hi @Hermayoni,

Welcome to HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

Certainly, I can try to help you improve the print quality of your projects on the HP Smart Tank 515. Here are some general tips that might help you achieve better results.

Check Print Settings:

• Make sure you have selected the appropriate print settings in your software. Choose the highest quality settings for better results.

Use High-Quality Paper:

• Using high-quality paper can significantly improve print quality. Choose paper that is recommended for your printer.

Check Ink Levels:

• Ensure that your ink cartridges have enough ink. Low ink levels can affect print quality. If needed, replace or refill the cartridges.

Print Head Alignment:

• Some printers have a feature for print head alignment. Check your printer manual to see if this is applicable, and perform the alignment if necessary.

Clean the Print Heads:

• Over time, print heads can get clogged, leading to poor print quality. Most printers have a utility for cleaning the print heads. Check your printer settings or manual for instructions.

Update Printer Drivers:

• Ensure that you have the latest printer drivers installed on your computer. Check the HP website for any updated drivers for your printer model.

Calibrate Your Monitor:

• If the color on your screen doesn't match the printed output, calibrate your monitor to ensure accurate color representation.

Check for Software Updates:

• Ensure that your printer firmware is up to date. Manufacturers may release firmware updates that can improve performance and print quality.

Adjust Print Quality Settings:

• In your printer settings, you may have options to adjust print quality. Experiment with different settings to find the balance between quality and speed.

Use Original HP Cartridges:

• While third-party cartridges may be more affordable, using original HP cartridges can ensure optimal compatibility and performance.

I hope this helps. 
 

Take care and have a good day.
