Improve poor print quality
Brother strongly recommends that customers use only genuine Brother ink for best results. Using non-Brother supplies may affect the hardware performance, print quality and machine reliability since the ink formulation in genuine Brother ink cartridges prevent smearing and clogging of the print head. The Brother limited warranty does not apply to any issue that was caused by the use of third party ink and/or cartridges.

Cleaning the four colour print heads (black, cyan, magenta and yellow) and/or adjusting the vertical alignment may improve the print quality.
Changing the print quality setting in the printer driver to "Fine" may also improve the print quality.
Print the Print Quality Check Sheet and look at the nozzle check pattern.
If print head cleaning is needed, follow the machine's display instructions.
