Print Quality is Poor
Check the following if the print quality is poor due to blurry prints, banding, missing colors, faded colors, and
misalignment in the prints.
Checking the printer
Use the Print Quality Adjustment feature.
❏ Perform a nozzle check, and then clean the print head if any of the print head nozzles are clogged.
❏ Align the print head.
Checking the paper
❏ Use paper supported by this printer.
❏ Do not print on paper that is damp, damaged, or too old.
❏ If the paper is curled or the envelope is puffed up, flatten it.
❏ Do not stack the paper immediately after printing.
❏ Dry the printouts completely before filing or displaying them. When drying the printouts, avoid direct sun light,
do not use a dryer, and do not touch the printed side of paper.
❏ When printing images or photos, Epson recommends using genuine Epson paper rather than plain paper. Print
on the printable side of the genuine Epson paper.
Checking the print settings
❏ Select the appropriate paper type setting for the type of paper loaded in the printer.
❏ Print using a higher quality setting.
Checking the ink supply unit
❏ Try to use genuine Epson ink supply units. This product is designed to adjust colors based on the use of genuine
Epson ink supply units. The use of non-genuine ink supply units may cause print quality to decline.
❏ Epson recommends using the ink supply unit before the date printed on the package.
