Hi Jordan It appears you are satisfied with the quality of the ink. That is really great! Having customers be underwhelmed by print yields is an undesirable outcome for us. Let's see if we can correct this occurrence for you. Do you notice any patterns or changes? The smallest details can matter while printing. Avoid designs photos and tables. Shutting down the printer hides the cartridge from air exposure. Thick paper is also to be avoided. If you have questions reach out to our support team at www.support.hp.com/us-en/contact-hp.
