Blurry or Smeared Printout
If your printouts are blurry or smeared, try these solutions:
• Make sure your paper is not damp, curled, old, or loaded incorrectly in your product.
• Slide the edge guides to the edges of the paper.
• Use a support sheet with special paper, or load special paper one sheet at a time.
• Place a piece of black paper on the back of the original and copy it again.
• Make sure your paper meets the specifications for your product.
• Use Epson papers to ensure proper saturation and absorption of genuine Epson inks.
• Make sure the paper type setting in your product software matches the type of paper you loaded.
• Make sure you loaded the printable side of the paper correctly for your product.
• If you are printing on thick paper or envelopes, turn on the
Thick Paper
setting from the control panel
or select
Thick Paper and Envelopes
in the Extended Settings of the printer software. (Turning this
setting on will decrease print speed.) You can also try selecting
Short Grain Paper
from the control
panel.
• If you are printing on thick paper or envelopes, make sure you select the appropriate settings.
• When manually printing 2-sided, make sure the ink is completely dry before loading the paper.
• Remove each sheet from the output tray as it is printed.
• Avoid handling printouts on glossy paper right after printing to allow the ink to set.
• Dry printouts completely before filing or displaying them. When drying printouts, avoid direct sunlight,
do not use a dryer, and do not touch the printed side of the paper.
