Brother printers: tips for better print quality
You own a Brother printer, but you are not satisfied with the print quality. We give tips on how to improve quality. To do this, be sure to install the software that came with your Brother printer.
Brother printer properties
If you want to print something, select the "Properties" next to the printer model information before you confirm the print. Here you can make some pressure-improving settings.
- Under the "Basic Settings" tab, you can change the print quality to "Best" instead of "Normal".
- Depending on the type of photo, it is advisable to set the color mode to "lively" instead of "natural".
- Under "Advanced" you can activate "Color Optimization" in the "Color Settings".
- In the "Advanced" tab under "Other print options" you can change the data transfer mode to "Improved print quality". This slows down the print, but increases the print quality.
Brother printer maintenance
You can start standard cleaning and / or advanced cleaning directly in the printer menu or via the printer software. These processes improve print quality if contamination is visible during printing.
- In the "Properties" of your Brother printer, go to the "Maintenance" tab and click on "Standard cleaning".
- Note that this process consumes some ink.
- The advanced cleaning process should only be performed if you really notice significant print quality problems. The process sucks a large amount of ink from your cartridges.
