Trying to print on inkjet printable vinyl, but details are not coming out.

[britd87]

I'm trying to print on printable inkjet vinyl. My copies are coming out with rounded edges and not detailed. I have used best quality and have tried several paper settings. The printer is brand new.  Here are examples. The top is what printed and the bottom is what I wanted printed.

Hi@britd87, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Which application are you using to print?

What is the paper size/type?

Are you using ADF or the Input to try to seed the paper?

Power resetting the printer, Updating the printer firmware, and checking the print settings may resolve this issue. Let us try these steps: 

Reset the printer

1. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
2. Wait at least 60 seconds.
3. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
4. Turn ON the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
5. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

1) Make sure this printer is plugged into a direct wall, not a surge protector

2) Remove all of your ink cartridges from the printer and close the door

3) Remove the power cord from the back of the printer (Do no press the power button)

4) Plug the power cord back into the printer
