small problems with calibration cube

helllo,
I am using an anet printer a friend of mine bought, we made some test prints after the assembly and we have some printing issues, these are two pictures, I hope they are clear enough.

Basically where the letters are you can see like a shadow of the letter on both side, while where there is no letter we get some small gaps.

The "shadow" is called ringing and caused by the print head shaking after sharp turns. Try tightening your belts and check that the hot end is fastened properly. Too high jerk-settings in firmware can cause ringing too.

The holes could be from too much retraction if you have set random placement of z-layer start/stop point.

If not, it could be uneven extrusion. Perhaps your extruder Gear is not tight enough and slipping or your filament is bindning?
