Problem
Your print is grainy, or has
misregistration or ghosting.
Colors are incorrect or
missing.
Solution
◗ Check the ink indicators and light to see if you are low on ink. (If you replace
ink cartridges with the printer turned off, the ink indicators will not be
accurate.) Replace ink cartridges if necessary, as described on page 157.
◗ Run a nozzle check and cleaning cycle. See page 152 for instructions.
◗ Align the print head, as described on page 156.
◗ Make sure the Media Type setting in the printer software is correct.
◗ If you're using cut sheet media, make sure the printable side is face-up.
◗ Choose a higher resolution, such as SuperFine - 1440 dpi.
◗ Turn off the High Speed setting. See page 108 for instructions.
You may need to adjust your advanced media control settings (page 119 for
Mac OS X 10.6 & 10.5) or paper configuration settings (page 133 for Mac OS X
10.4.11or page 100 for Windows). Check these settings:
◗ Make sure Paper Thickness setting is correct for your paper.
◗ If you've created a custom paper configuration, be sure to return the setting
to standard (STD) when you're done using it. See page 82.
◗ Make sure the Media Type setting in the printer software is correct.
◗ Adjust the Color Density setting in the Paper Configuration utility.
◗ If you're using a third-party RIP or non-Epson media, custom color profiles
will give you the best color reproduction.
◗ If you're using cut sheet media, make sure the printable side is face-up.
◗ Run a nozzle check and cleaning cycle; see page 152.
◗ Check the expiration date printed on each of the ink cartridges. If the
cartridge is too old, replace it as described on page 157.
◗ Check the ink indicators and light, and replace ink cartridges if your ink
supply is low, as described on page 157. (If you replace ink cartridges with
the printer turned off, the ink indicators will not be accurate.)
◗ Make sure color settings in your application or printer software are correct.
