Hi,

I live in the UK & have a Canon MP360 multifunctional printer which
has started to give 'bleeding' problems as shown here (16k jpeg):

I haven't had much experience of printers and would appreciate it if
anyone could give an idea on how to go about solving the problem.

Thanks,

Thanks for replying Caitlin :)

I'm using plain paper set to highest print quality. The thing about it
is that it printed ok at first but then the 'bleeding' appeared!

I have a Canon MP370 and find that if you use plain paper ( all plain paper
isn't the same) on the high print quality setting it does sometimes bleed,
as it tends to saturate the paper. Try using standard quality, or buy some
good quality coated inkjet paper if you want to use the high quality
setting.

OK Kaiser, I'll try the standard setting - thanks :)

You will find by using the standard setting it will give quite good results
on plain paper, as well as saving some ink. These cartridges are quite low
capacity and don't last long on HQ setting.

I have also been using third party cartridges from Choice Stationery with
good results and no problems with clogging..

I'm just curious here.
Is that file you're trying to print a picture or just font in Word or
something?
To me it looks like you've created a jpg or a gif & printed it?
If that is the case then if you open & change it several times & then resave
it or especially if you enlarge it you will lose clarity like your picture.
If on the other hand it hasn't been scanned & printed or something & it is
just a word doc or something then disregard my comments.

Hi Bruce,

I printed the page out & then scanned it in as a jpg to show the
'bleeding'.
