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 nozzles are still clogged after cleaning three times, perform a Powerful Cleaning. If
nozzles are still clogged, flush the ink tubes.

• Perform a print quality adjustment.

• Make sure your paper meets the specifications for your product.

• Make sure the paper is not wrinkled, folded, or bent.

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

printed on the package.

• Shake the ink bottles before filling the ink tanks.

• Make sure you selected the correct

Media Type

setting in the printer driver that matches the paper

loaded in the printer.

• Compare the print result with the image on your computer screen. Since monitors and printers

produce colors differently, printed colors and screen colors do not always look the same.

• Make sure that all printer covers are closed during printing.

• Keep all printer covers closed unless you are loading or unloading media to prevent dust from

accumulating inside the printer.

• Check the ink levels on the LCD screen. Refill any ink tanks that are low on ink.

• Enable color management in the software application or in the printer driver.

• If you are using non-Epson media, make sure you create a custom paper configuration for the media.

• Check the quality setting that you selected in the printer driver. Using a faster printing method may

decrease the overall print quality.
