Printout Problems

Print Quality Is Poor

Check the following if the print quality is poor due to blurry prints, banding, missing colors, faded colors,
misalignment, and mosaic-like patterns in the prints.

❏ Use paper supported by this printer.
❏ Do not print on paper that is damp, damaged, or too old.
❏ If the paper is curled or the envelope is puffed up, flatten it.
❏ 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.

❏ Select the appropriate paper type setting on the control panel or in the printer driver for the type of paper

loaded in the printer.

❏ Print using a high quality setting on the control panel or in the printer driver.
❏ If you have selected Standard-Vivid as the quality setting on the Windows printer driver, change to Standard. If

you have selected Normal-Vivid as the quality setting on the Mac OS X printer driver, change to Normal.

❏ When using certain color adjustment features, the colors may change or the tone may be unnatural. Try

disabling the features.

❏ Control Panel

When printing a JPEG, select Adjustments > Fix Photo, and then select anything other than On.

❏ Windows

Select Custom as the Color Correction setting on the printer driver's More Options tab. Click Advanced,
and then select anything other than PhotoEnhance as the Color Management setting.

❏ Mac OS X

Select Color Matching from the print dialog's pop-up menu, and then select EPSON Color Controls. Select
Color Options

from the pop-up menu, and then select anything other than PhotoEnhance.
