Image Colors Are Patchy At The Edges; Ripple Patterns Appear In An Image - Epson EcoTank M2120 User Manual

Note: The Text Enhancement and Remove Background settings depend on the selected Image
Type.
Scanned Image Colors Do Not Match Original Colors
Printed colors can never exactly match the colors on your computer monitor because printers and
monitors use different color systems: monitors use RGB (red, green, and blue) and printers typically use
CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black).
Check the color matching and color management capabilities of your computer, display adapter, and the
software you are using to see if they are affecting the palette of colors you see on your screen.
To adjust the colors in your scanned image, adjust these Epson Scan 2 or Epson ScanSmart settings (if
available) and try scanning again:
• Make sure you select the correct Image Type for your original.
• If the Image Type setting is Auto, Color or Grayscale, adjust the Contrast setting.
• If the Image Type setting is Black & White or Grayscale, adjust the Color Enhance setting.

If you are scanning a thick or warped original, cover its edges with paper to block external light as you
scan it.

Ripple Patterns Appear in an Image

You may see a ripple pattern (called a moiré) in scanned images of printed documents. This is caused
by interference from differing pitches in the scanner's screen and your original's halftone screen. To
reduce this effect, adjust these Epson Scan 2 settings (if available) and try scanning again:
• Select the Descreening setting on the Advanced Settings tab.
• Select a lower Resolution setting.
• Place the original at a slightly different angle.
