cartridges may be old or damaged and may need to be replaced.
To replace an ink cartridge before it is empty, see "Replacing Ink
Cartridges" in the online Reference Guide.
If print quality remains a problem after replacing the ink
cartridges, contact your dealer.

To maintain print quality, EPSON recommends turning on the printer
