For any print quality problem you need to check waste tank. For any ink jet / bubble jet printer the waste tank is located below print head's home position.





Clean the head with lint free cloth and distilled water. If it does not improve remove the head and immerse it in liquid ammonia solution for 6 hours. Wash it thoroughly with plain water.





Be careful liquid ammonia looks like water but drinking it will damage food pipe and may cause death.Where is Canon PIXMA iP1500 Photo Printer's Waste Ink Tank located?
