Epson Stylus Color 850 User Manual page 171

The print head nozzles for a
particular color of ink are
clogged.
The ICM (Windows95) or
ColorSync (Macintosh)
setting in your driver is not
appropriate for your
document.
Your printer and monitor are
not properly calibrated for
color matching.
Since monitors and printers
produce colors differently,
printed colors will not always
match on-screen colors
perfectly.
Colors are not very vibrant.
Cause
The image was printed on the
wrong side of EPSON Ink Jet
Paper.
The Media Type setting does
not match the kind of paper
loaded in the printer.
9-24
Troubleshooting
Clean the print heads. See "Cleaning
the Print Heads" later in this chapter.
Select Automatic as the Mode setting
in the printer driver.
See the user's guides of your
image-editing software and your
monitor for information on calibrating
your system for color matching.
See Appendix B, "Tips for Color
Printing."
What to do
Make sure that you are printing on the
coated side of the paper. If necessary,
flip over the paper and try printing
again. If the color quality has not
improved, clean the print heads as
described later in this chapter.
Make sure the Media Type setting in
your printer driver matches the type of
media you have loaded, or load media
that matches the Media Type setting.
