While doing my tests with that new printer I've noticed a problem.
If an image that contains text will be printed, the text will come out grainy regardless of the file resolution.
(A Thank You card for example, the mixes graphics and text)
For example:

Do you see the rough edges? Like there's a lack of anti aliasing
http://i.imgur.com/8J18TwP.jpg which is 6300x8910
If I'll take the exact text with the same font and print it from word it will be printed fine.
Is there a known issue I'm missing here?
 
Solution
See what the image settings are set to and what the image itself is. Unless you save the image in an uncompressed format with the same DPI as the text, you will have distortions.
