Hi @hometownrealtor,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

To lighten ink on an HP OfficeJet 3830 printer, you can adjust the print settings in your printing software. Here's a general guide on how to do it.

• Open the Document or Image: Open the document or image you want to print on your computer.
• Select Print: Click on "File" and then select "Print" from the menu.
• Choose Printer: In the print dialog box, make sure you have selected your HP OfficeJet 3830 printer.
• Access Printer Properties or Preferences: Look for a button or link that says "Properties" or "Preferences." This might vary depending on the software you are using.
• Adjust Print Settings: Within the properties or preferences menu, there should be an option to adjust print settings. Look for options like "Quality," "Color," or "Print Settings."
• Adjust Ink Density or Intensity: Look for a setting related to ink density or intensity. Reduce the density or intensity to lighten the print. The terminology might vary depending on your printer model and software.
• Preview Changes: Some printing software allows you to preview changes before printing. Use this feature to see how the adjustments affect the print quality.
• Apply Changes and Print: Once you are satisfied with the adjustments, apply the changes and proceed to print the document.

Keep in mind that the exact steps may vary depending on your operating system, printing software, and printer driver version.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
