Incorrect Colors

If your printouts have incorrect colors, try these solutions:

• Make sure the

Black/Grayscale

or

Grayscale

setting is not selected in your printer software.

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

necessary.

• The ink cartridges may be old or low on ink, and you may need to replace them.

• Your printed colors can never exactly match your on-screen colors. However, you can use a color

management system to get as close as possible. Try using the color management options in your
printer software.

• For best results, use genuine EPSON ink and paper.

Slanted Printout

If your printouts are slanted, try these solutions:

• Slide the edge guides against the edges of the paper.

• Select a higher print quality setting in your printer software.

• Align the print head.

• Make sure the product is not printing while tilted or at an angle.
