You see wrong or missing colors.
Make sure an ink cartridge isn't too
old or low on ink. To replace an ink
cartridge, see page 40.
Make sure the Ink setting is set to
for color images and your
Color
application is set for color printing.
Make sure the print head nozzles are
not clogged. To clean the print head,
see page 37.
If you're printing a high-resolution
image, turn off PhotoEnhance as
described on page 18.
Try using Automatic mode. See
page 9 (Windows) or page 16
(Macintosh) for instructions.
You may be using a PhotoEnhance
special effect that alters image colors,
such as Sepia; see page 18.
No printing system can exactly
match your on-screen colors.
However, you can use a color
management system to get as close as
possible. See the advanced color
management tips on page 21 and
your electronic Reference Guide.
You may be printing a file saved in
CMYK format. To print correctly,
the file should be saved in RGB
format. See the color matching tips
on page 20.
Due to the nature of pigment-based
inks, lighting conditions can affect
the appearance of your printed
output. Generally, colors look more
accurate when illuminated by a D50
light source.
You see colored hues in the gray parts
of a black-and-white photograph.
On the EPSON Stylus Photo 2000P,
grayscale images look best when printed
in color mode. Color mode provides
the smoothest gradations, but may
make some hues noticeable. For best
results, make sure the Media Type
setting matches the paper you loaded
(see page 25) and try one of the
following:
Leave as the Ink setting (the
Color
EPSON Stylus Photo 2000P is not
recommended for neutral
black-and-white photography).
Clean and align your print head, as
described on page 37 and page 43.
If you scanned the image, make sure
you calibrated the color correctly
with your scanning software.
Create a color calibration profile with
a color management program to
improve the image's color balance.
