    Hi manoujemmapes,

    ► What type of printer? (brand/model)
    ► Laser? (if yes, issue with the fuser)
    ► Inkjet? (brand/model)
    Best regards!

      Hello, The hardware may not be to blame. Copying is equivalent to scanning, and the whitest of whites, as Coluche said, is hard to obtain because the paper isn’t truly white, or the color calibration for copy/scanning (there’s normally a program for that on the printer) is poorly configured. When I don’t scan in PDF and in color (which is very rare) and I want a high-quality document, I personally have trouble ensuring it doesn’t look blueish, and I’ve sometimes had to redo it with an image editor—a real hassle.
