Incorrect Or Missing Colors; Blurry Or Smeared Printout - Epson Stylus Photo 895 Daily Use

Incorrect or missing colors

Try one or more of these solutions:
Run the Head Cleaning utility. See "Cleaning the Print Head"
on page 67. If colors are still incorrect or missing, replace the
color ink cartridge. If the problem persists, replace the black
ink cartridge. See "Replacing an Ink Cartridge" on page 61 for
details.
Make sure that you are not using an ink cartridge with an
expired date printed on the cartridge carton. Also, if you have
not used the printer for a long time, replace with new ink
cartridges. See "Replacing an Ink Cartridge" on page 61.

Blurry or smeared printout

Try one or more of these solutions:
Make sure that the printer is on a flat, stable surface that
extends beyond the printer base in all directions. The printer
will not operate properly if it is tilted.
Make sure that your paper is dry and that the printable side
is facing up. Also, make sure that you are using an acceptable
paper type. See "Paper" on page 97 for specifications.
If the paper is curled toward the printable side, flatten it or
curl it slightly in the opposite direction.
Set the adjust lever to the "+" position, and make sure the
Media Type setting in the Control Panel is correct.
Remove each sheet from the output tray as it is printed,
especially if you are using transparencies.
If you are printing on glossy media, place a support sheet (or
a sheet of plain paper) beneath the stack, or load only one
sheet at a time.
