❏
Dry the printouts completely before filing or displaying them. When drying the printouts, avoid direct sun light,
do not use a dryer, and do not touch the printed side of paper.
❏
When printing images or photos, Epson recommends using genuine Epson paper rather than plain paper. Print
on the printable side of the genuine Epson paper.
❏
Try to use genuine Epson ink cartridges. This product is designed to adjust colors based on the use of genuine
Epson ink cartridges. The use of non-genuine ink cartridges may cause print quality to decline.
❏
Epson recommends using the ink cartridge before the date printed on the package.
❏
For best results, use up ink cartridge within six months of opening the package.
❏
When printing images or photos, print using high-resolution data. Images on websites are often low resolution
although they look good enough on the display, and so print quality may decline.

Print Quality Does Not Improve Even After Aligning the Print Head
During bidirectional (or high speed) printing, the print head prints while moving in both directions, and vertical
lines may be misaligned. If print quality does not improve, disable the bidirectional (or high speed) setting.
Disabling this setting may slow down printing speed.
