Blurred Lines (Ink "Bleeds" from Lines)
   

Perhaps you have adjusted the drying time in the Front Panel menu to speed up the Printer output.

1. Set "Drying time" to "Automatic".

 

-For details of drying time adjustments, see the User's Reference Guide.
-The printer is laying too much ink for the media type. Check that HP media is being used.
