How to Improve the Print Quality of an Inkjet Printer

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Set the print speed setting on the printer to the highest quality setting available.

   Average print speed settings will range from 5 to 20 pages-per-minute (ppm).
   
   The optimum quality speed setting is typically among the speed setting options in the speed adjustment control menu on the printer.
   
   Increase the print speed to reduce color saturation when images and graphics bleed and warp from over saturation.
   
   Decrease the print speed to raise the color saturation when colors seem washed out or faded.
2. 2

   Step 2: Use the highest possible resolution settings on both the printer and the application being used.

   These settings can usually be adjusted from the "Print" menu or on the printer's control panel.
   
   Choose the highest dots-per-inch (dpi) setting.
   
   Depending on the device specifications, the dpi settings will range from 72 to 2400 dpi.
   
   The dpi setting will have a dramatic effect on the resolution quality of an inkjet printer.
