There are several factors which can vary results of your print when print from home. First, make sure your print quality is set to "Best". Also, check that the type of paper and size you are using is selected (ex. photo paper, 4x6), if that option is available on your printer. Other factors that can change your print is if the printer's ink level is low. When the ink is low it can make prints look awkward in a lot of different ways. The type of paper can also change the way your photo looks. For instance, if using regular printer paper, a photo may print out with lines because this type of paper is better suited to text as it absorbs ink differently than photo paper or card stock.
