@starrysky
its brand new, still using the ink it came with.
regular everyday printer paper.
no, its never done better, but the printer i had before it (a Lexmark) did it very accurately. although iam sure its just my printer not being as powerful as the Lexmark was, i was hoping i could change it.

A ink cartridge or cartridges maybe low, empty or possibly clogged
The printer cannot print correctly if it lacks one of the basic colors
First step is to see will if it print a test page
Go to Start, settings, printers. Right click on the printer, properties, print test page.
If that doesn't work there should be a head cleaning option in properties that will make it clean the print heads.
If the ink cartridge is still clogged, saturate a q-tip with alcohol
and lightly rub the print head
If there is still nothing after that then either it’s badly clogged, low or out of ink, and needs to be replaced
