Use ink bottles dedicated for this printer.
❏
We recommend using the ink bottle before the
expiration date printed on the packaging.
❏
We recommend using genuine Epson products.
Colors have been adjusted for this printer
based on genuine Epson products; using
non-genuine products may cause print quality
to decline.
The color is not exactly the same as
another printer.
Colors vary depending on the printer type
o
due to each printer's characteristics.
Because inks, printer drivers, and printer profiles are
developed for each printer model, the colors
printed by different printer models are not exactly
the same.
You can achieve similar colors with the same color
adjustment method or the same gamma setting by
using the printer driver.

Simple Settings in the Print Quality field. Select
Level - Max Quality, clear High Speed Printing,

However, printing may take some time.
Bidirectional printing moves the print head left and
right while printing, so if the print head is
misaligned (with gaps), ruled lines may be printed
as misaligned.
The printed surface is scuffed or
soiled.
Is the paper too thick or too thin?
o
Check that the paper specifications are compatible
with this printer.
