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.
• Check the
Color Density
setting.
• Perform an Easy Adjustment, or run a manual Print Head Alignment and Paper Feed 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 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.
• Remove and shake the cartridges every 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 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. 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.
