• Shake the cartridges before installing them in the printer. To maintain optimum print quality, remove
and shake the installed cartridges every three months.
• Make sure you selected the correct Media Type setting in the printer driver that matches the paper
loaded in the printer.
• Compare the print result with the image on your computer screen. Since monitors and printers
produce colors differently, printed colors and screen colors do not always look the same.
• Make sure that the front cover is closed during printing.
• Check the ink levels on the LCD screen. Replace any cartridges that are low on ink.
• Enable color management in the software application or in the printer driver.
• If you are using non-Epson media, make sure you created a custom paper configuration for the media.
• Check the quality setting that you selected in the printer driver. Using a faster printing method may
decrease the overall print quality.
• If you are printing on roll paper, cut approximately 3 inches (76 mm) off the end of the roll. Because
the leading edge is in contact with the air, the paper quality may decline over time.
• Enable the Optimize media edge print quality setting in the printer driver.
• Check the paper feed sensor. If the sensor is dirty, clean it.
• Make sure the Paper Feed Stabilizer setting on the LCD screen is set to On.
• Check the cloth in the paper slot. If you see dust or paper particles, clean it with a cleaning sheet.
