When the Canon TS3460 printer produces poor print quality such as blurred, faded, or streaky prints, it generally points to issues with the print head, ink cartridges, paper, or settings.

Technical Description of Poor Print Quality (Blurred, Faded, or Streaks) in Canon TS3460
1. Low Ink Levels or Faulty Ink Cartridges
Low or Empty Ink: If one or more of the ink cartridges are low or empty, it can result in faded, uneven, or streaky prints. The printer may also struggle to mix the colors correctly.
