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.

• Align the print head.

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

result may be faint or the color of the printed image 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 six months of installation in the printer). Replace expired
cartridges with new ones.

• Shake the cartridges before installing them in the printer. To maintain optimum print quality, remove

and shake the installed cartridges if the printer has not been used in the last three months.

• 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 the printer cover is closed during printing.

• Check the ink levels on the LCD screen. Replace any cartridges 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.
