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
❏ Perform a nozzle check, and then clean the print head if any of the print head nozzles are clogged.
❏ Align the print head.
❏ Do not open the printer cover during printing.
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 cartridge
❏ Epson recommends using the ink cartridge before the date printed on the package.
❏ For best results, use up ink cartridge within six months of opening the package.
