Problems with Print Results

Cause
Stripes appear at regular intervals in the
print outs.
Print quality is poor, uneven, too light, or
too dark.
Troubleshooting
If the print head is clogged, stripes appear at regular intervals, and print quality
declines. Check the nozzle status in the Maintenance Tool, and then try cleaning.
See the "Maintenance Tool Operation Guide" for more details on the
Maintenance Tool.

Are the print head nozzles clogged?
If the nozzles in the print head are clogged, specific nozzles do not fire ink and
the print quality declines. Check the nozzle status in the Maintenance Tool, and
then try cleaning.
See the "Maintenance Tool Operation Guide" for more details on the
Maintenance Tool.

Are you using a genuine Epson ink cartridge?
This printer is designed for use with Epson genuine cartridges and ink only, not
third-party cartridges or ink. For more information, see
epson.com/WideFormatInk.
Are you using an old ink cartridge?
The print quality declines when an old ink cartridge is used. Replace the old ink
cartridge with a new one. We recommend using all the ink in the ink cartridge
before the expiry date printed on the package (within six months of installation).
See "Replacing the Ink" on page 47.
Do the settings in the Maintenance Tool and the settings in the printer
driver match the paper loaded in the printer?
If the loaded paper type and the set Paper Type differ, print quality may decline.
Check the settings.
See "Changing Paper Settings" on page 35.
Have you compared the print result with the image on the display monitor?
Since monitors and printers produce colors differently, printed colors will not
always match on-screen colors perfectly.
