I’ve had this issue before too! It could be that the print head is clogged, even if the ink levels are full. Try running a cleaning cycle from your printer’s maintenance menu to clear any blockages. sassa r350 grant payment date
Sometimes the ink nozzles get dried up or blocked, which causes faded prints even with enough ink. Also, double-check that you're using the right type of paper for your printer and that the print settings are correct for the type of print you're doing.
Hope that helps!
