Can you tell me why my dell all in one printer is printing crappy photos? -

I have the photo cardridge on the right and the black cartridge on the left. I have checked the setting quality and made sure the printer is on photo and am using quality photo paper. I dont understand what the problem is!

Honestly? Because Dell (made by Lexmark) is one of the poorest quality printers made. Take a look at the new HP Photosmart Printers. HP is a much better brand, in many cases the ink is now inexpensive, and you can find the ink cartridges just about anywhere. Photo quality is much better on HP printers. HP, Canon, and Epson are rated the best quality photo printers. Canon and Epson photos will cost you about 40 cents per 4x6 paper whereas the HP s print photos at a cost of 24 cents each. I recommend the C5180 or the C6280 if you want print, copy, scan, and do photos (I own the C5180). Or the D7260 if you don t need to copy or scan and you just want to print documents and photos. These printers are listed on hp.com with specific details about each one.

agree with sarge, plus use a can of compressed air, to blow air under ink cartridges. problem can be in resolution.

you need to call this number it is for dell they will help you out with your problem here is the phone number 1-877-465-2968 hope this helps you.

I suggest you go to www.support/dell.com. They have excellent customer service. If you don t find the help at the site, look for their phone number and call them. I have had good support. Good luck.

Check your printer settings and set it for the maximum dpi (dots per inch) setting your printer is made for.
