Printout Problems

Print Quality Is Poor

Check the following if the print quality is poor due to blurry prints, banding, missing colors, faded colors,
misalignment, and mosaic-like patterns in the prints.
❏ Run the nozzle check, and then clean the print head if any of the print head nozzles are clogged.
❏ Align the print head.
❏ 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.
❏ When printing images or photos, print using high-resolution data. Images on websites are often low resolution
although they look good enough on the display, and so print quality may decline.
❏ Select the appropriate paper type setting on the control panel or in the printer driver for the type of paper
loaded in the printer.
❏ Print using a high quality setting on the control panel or in the printer driver.
❏ When images or photos are printed in unexpected colors, adjust the color and then print again. The automatic
color correction feature uses the standard PhotoEnhance correction mode. Try another PhotoEnhance
correction mode by selecting an option other than Auto Correct as the Scene Correction setting. If the
problem continues, use any other color correction feature other than PhotoEnhance.
❏ Windows
Select Custom as the Color Correction setting on the printer driver's More Options tab. Click Advanced,
and then select anything other than PhotoEnhance as the Color Management setting.
❏ Mac OS X
Select the Color Matching menu on the print dialog, and select EPSON Color Controls. Select Color
Options from the pop-up menu, and then select a color correction mode other than PhotoEnhance.
