ML-13000 User's Manual
Use unidirectional printing.
o
If ruled lines are misaligned or unevenness occurs, selecting one-directional printing may improve the symptoms.
Are you using a genuine Epson ink supply unit?
o
This machine is developed for use with Epson ink supply units. Use of non-genuine products may result in faint prints or
the inability to detect the amount of ink remaining properly, which may result in changes in color. Be sure to use the
correct ink supply unit.
Are you using an old ink supply unit?
o
The print quality declines when an old ink supply unit is used. Replace the old ink supply unit with a new one. Use all
the ink in the ink supply unit before the date printed on the package or within one year of opening the ink supply unit,
whichever is sooner.
Are fabric settings correct?
o
Confirm that the fabric settings in the software RIP or on the printer match the fabric actually in use.
Have you compared the printing result with the image on the display monitor?
o
Since monitors and printers produce colors differently, printed colors will not always match on-screen colors perfectly.
Did you press the Suspend button while printing?
o
If you suspend the print head by pressing the Suspend button during printing, uneven shading is more likely to occur in
the printing result.
Is Ink low. displayed on the control panel screen?
o
The print quality may decline when the ink is low. We recommend replacing the ink supply unit with a new one. If there
is a difference in color after replacing the ink supply unit, try performing head cleaning a few times.
Remove the ink supply units and shake them.
o
The ink may have sedimented (components settling to the bottom of the liquid). Remove the ink supply units and shake
them.
