Blurry or Smeared Printout
If your printouts are blurry or smeared, try these solutions:
• Make sure your paper is not damp, curled, old, or loaded incorrectly in your product.
• Use a support sheet with special paper, or load special paper one sheet at a time.
• Place a piece of black paper on the back of the original and copy it again.
• Make sure your paper meets the specifications for your product.
• Use Epson papers to ensure proper saturation and absorption of genuine Epson inks.
• Make sure the paper type setting in your product software matches the type of paper you loaded.
• When manually printing 2-sided, make sure the ink is completely dry before loading the paper.
• Remove each sheet from the output tray as it is printed.
• Avoid handling printouts on glossy paper right after printing to allow the ink to set.
• Dry printouts completely before filing or displaying them. When drying printouts, avoid direct sunlight,
do not use a dryer, and do not touch the printed side of the paper.
• Do not stack printouts immediately after printing.
• If you print on both sides of a sheet of paper, smudges may appear on the reverse side of heavily
saturated or dark images. If one side of a sheet will contain a lighter image or text, print that side first.
Make sure the ink has dried before reloading the paper to print on the other side. Adjust the density
and/or ink drying time settings.
• If printed copies are smeared, lower the copy density setting on the product control panel.
• The ink levels may be low and you may need to refill the ink. Visually check the ink levels.
• Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if
necessary.
• Clean the paper path.
