- Select the highest print quality under your printer settings.
- Check that the printer is not running low on ink.
- These printables use a lot of ink so take care removing them from the printer so as not to smudge them.
Printer Recommendation: I have used Canon printers for many years, and now have a Pixma model that I love. It is simple to use and produces good quality.
