Faint Printouts are really concerning one when you have brought Canon Printer being conscious of print quality. They are regarded as the common errors but in actual they are most frustrating one. Many users think that it is all about low ink/toner levels. But that is not absolutely correct as faint prints are out when you have enough ink/toner available. So, there can be loads of possible scenarios which can cause such problem. We have given detailed overview of the reasons causing the printouts faded and the correct way to clear them all:

When Ink or Toner Levels Are Low

Generally, faded text or image printouts appear when the cartridges are low on ink and toner. Just check them by proceeding towards the control panel and then to the Printer properties and cartridge status. There, you will find how much ink and toner is left in your cartridges. You must also check for the nozzles on cartridges so that they aren’t blocked or there is some dried material that is resisting the flow of ink. And when you see that happening, just clean them using a lightly dampened cloth. For toner cartridge, you must shake it most importantly.

Fuser Roller Issues

While you are using laser printer, the fuser will heat up the toner powder, making it to stick and seal the paper so that it can give output. Whenever there is some problem with the fuser, it will result in ghosting sometimes. In this case, you need to try removing the fuser unit. If the problem still resists you should go for replacing the roller immediately. When you can’t do it alone, experts at Canon Printer contact number UK is the right choice to be contacted.

Ink/Toner Density Setting

There are different printing models that Canon has; you have to change the density settings of your ink and toner. This is possible that the default setting could be low, that has produced faded printouts. In case, your printing device doesn’t have ink/toner density settings, you can find them in Devices & Printers option. When you are printing at a low density, just increase it and try printing a test page.

Don’t Place Your Printer in Low or High Humidity

Humidity can affect your printer performance in different ways. You must ensure that the ink or toner cartridge and the paper too have an optimum operating humidity rating. If it gets high, it will generate problems affront you. Canon Printer support UK team can guide you for this. It is recommended to place your printer in a non-humid area.

Print Heads Being Blocked

People who are using inkjet printer, they see that over a period of consistent use the process which pass on the droplets of ink on to the paper known as Print Head has been blocked and in turn causing printouts to faint. It is suggested to use a lightly dampened cloth and clean the ink cartridges from where the ink comes out.
