Overall Print Quality Is Poor

If you notice that your print quality is uneven, too light, too dark, or there are lines in the print (banding),
try these solutions:

• Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if

necessary.

• If the print surface is too far from the print head, the following problems may occur:

• Lines in the image (banding)

• Edges of the image are blurry

• Text and straight lines are duplicated

• Image is grainy

Adjust the platen height.

• Print in uni-directional mode to see if the platen height adjustment is off.

• Align the print head.

• Perform a feed adjustment.

• Make sure you are using genuine Epson ink cartridges. If you use non-Epson ink cartridges, the

printed result may be faint or the colors may be inaccurate because the remaining ink level is not
correctly detected.

• Make sure your ink cartridges have not expired. For best results, use ink cartridges before the

expiration date printed on the package (within a year of installation in the printer). Replace expired
cartridges with new ones.

• Shake the cartridges thoroughly before installing them in the printer. To maintain optimum print

quality, remove and shake the installed White ink cartridge at the start of every working day or when a
message is displayed. Shake the color cartridges once a month.
