• You may need to refill the ink. Visually check the ink levels.

• If you have not used the product for a long time, run the Power Ink Flushing utility.

Note:

Flushing the ink tubes replaces all the ink inside the tubes, so flush the ink only if you cannot

improve print quality by other means.

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.

• 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.

• Make sure you loaded the printable side of the paper correctly for your product.

• 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.
