My images are feathering around the printed edges2022-03-09T07:49:57+00:00

When you have printed images that look feathered around the edges, you are laying down too much inkjet ink. Try reducing the quality option or paper media setting. Usually, choosing the medium or medium-high quality option and plain paper media setting will work fine. However, each printer is different so test each print first before transferring to your substrate.
