Troubleshooting
Paper not feeding correctly into the printer
Ensure the paper is loaded correctly and not overloaded in the tray. Check that the paper guides are set to the correct width. Verify that your printer supports media with a weight of 240-245gsm.
Print quality is dull or colors are not vibrant
Confirm that the correct paper type ('Matt Plus' or similar) is selected in the printer driver settings. Ensure the print quality setting is set to 'High' or 'Best'. Check ink levels and printer head cleanliness.
Ink smudging or smearing
Allow prints to dry completely after printing, as recommended for matt papers. Avoid touching the printed surface immediately. Ensure the printer settings match the paper type and that the ink is fully cured.
Uneven print finish or banding
Run a printer head cleaning cycle and nozzle check. Re-select the appropriate paper type in the printer driver. Ensure the paper is stored correctly and has not been exposed to humidity.
