When i print something, it always comes out faded looking and with the print lines visible.?

Sounds liek you need some more ink in your cartrdige. Or maybe a new cartridge, who knows....

You need either a new printer or cartridge. You can't tell, but first I'd try a Carttidge

You should fill your cartridge or replace it...and even if it dont work than you shuld better try calling some technician for help...

obvious thing would be a new cartridge, but i don't think you are stupid, so i reckon it could be that the settings on your printer are set to draft instead of normal or high quality.

You don't say what printer you have. However, most have the same principals. Go to Control Panel, Printers and Fax's and open the icon. Right click on the icon for your printer. Go to Properties, then to Maintenance and do a Deep Cleanse or something similar. If the problem persists, go to Troubleshooter and follow the instructions....................

...assuming your print heads don't need cleaning... Have you tried changing your print settings? Most printers start out in a basic mode. You usually have at least 2 better settings to go to. When you hit print and the printer selection comes up... Click on printer preferences and set for a higher quality print. If you need to clean your print heads...eMail me or add to your question with printer manufacturer and model number. §§

You are running low on ink. Replace the cartridges.
