This is almost always a result of one or more of the following - and possibly other causes:

• The printer needs maintenance - cleaning (maybe several times), for example, and including the printer rollers when specified in the how-to document
• Ink needs to be replaced - maybe all colors, maybe just one.  "Full ink" is not always "good ink".  Not popular, but possible.
• The paper itself is at fault - this is less common, but can be a factor.
