why is it when I go to get pictures printed, they are blurry?

either you moved when you took picture or the object you were taking a picture of was moving. turn setting to sport. Our camera died so we no longer have it. You also could be blowing up the picture to more pixels than you have the camera set at. I can't remember how to set that on that camera.

the second day I had this camera, it broke and wouldn't zoom or focus. I sent it back.

I would suggest "cleaning the printeads" after refilling your cartridges and before printing. I'm able to do this directly from my printer, under "tools"

I have not noticed any blurry images. As to switching issues, I haven't used it for very long but don't remember any and I go between 4 sources.

I had the exact same problem with the exact same papers! We had a pack of 20 Kodak photo paper (I believe we received it free in the mail or something.) After the 3 photos we printed on the Epson paper came out stunningly good, we tried the Kodaks, and they were terrible no matter what settings I tried.

Photos on plain paper isn't the quality that you get with photo paper... that is the case with all printers I have owned. The black in a text document are very good on plain paper, very black.

Have you tried changing the settings within the software that you are using and selecting a sheet of pics to print such as in school photos. I have printed those types of pictures but did not make this selection from the printer but from the software I was using on the computer. If you are not using a computer, I am uncertain as to how you would do this.

The printer doesn't like it. It's important to change your printing settings to grey, not color. You may have to do this every time you send anything to the printer.

I believe you set the resolution (dpi) when you are ready to print the photo through the program you chose to use. When I take a photo, I usually set the Quality at 18M 5184x3456 since that is the highest. Then you can zoom in on an area of the photo without losing quality. I am able to crop quite a bit without major "pixelization" (not sure if that's a word.) Good luck!

What kind of problem? Print quality, size, resolution??? Can you be more specific?

I had similar results when I first got my printer. When the software for the printer is installed, there is an icon that appears in the lower right corner of the notification area. If you click on that, you can set the resolution and darkness of scanned items. That cleared up my problems to where images are clear and crisp.

Use a higher ISO setting. This camera takes great smooth pics all the way up to ISO 800. If your using it at the lowest setting (ISO 100) and you are indoors and/or outdoors with not enough light your pictures will blur occasionally.

That should work well-- it's the shiny side you want. I have same printer and paper, and my prints are outstanding. Are you printing from Photoshop? I just noticed that I always select Standard by default-- but choosing photo shouldn't make any real difference like you describe.

You need to change the settings through your computer. When the print menu pops up, go to properties. Choose "grayscale." Then print.

I won't be much help. We didn't like the pics we got on dry land do returned it immediately. Pics were too pixilated to ever print. Hope that helps

I was having terrible print problems as well - in color. The colors were faded and grainy no matter how much I tweaked settings. However, when I switched to a new computer (Windows 7) which replaced XP, all of the sudden the print quality was great. So maybe it's not the printer, but the driver.

Like any printer it depends on your usage. I've found that 'regular' printing has been very reasonable.High res photo printing on 'best' setting used more than my last printer but the result was worth it.All in all I recommend getting the printer.

I never had a problem with photos being dark or distorted. I'm sure anything I can suggest like cleaning and aligning the ink cartridges have already been done with HP. I totally gave mine away because HP was no help with issues I ever had and they totally ditched me after the warranty time was over. From a die-hard HP consumer = save yourself a headache, buy a Brother. Sorry I couldn't help you with your question, good luck to you.
