Improving Print Quality Banding and incorrect or missing colors can be caused by several problems, such as clogged print head nozzles or a misaligned print head. Poor print quality can also be caused by using a paper that is not defined in the EPSON printer driver or in a third-party RIP. Here are some common solutions for print quality problems: ❏ Run a nozzle check and cleaning cycle. See page 13 for instructions. ❏ Align the print head, as described on page 14. ❏ To eliminate banding, choose 1440 dpi as your resolution. ❏ If you're using cut sheet media, make sure the printable side (usually the whiter side) is face up. ❏ Check the Ink Out lights to see if you are low on ink. Replace any low ink cartridges, as described on page 10. ❏ Make sure the Media Type setting is correct for the media you're printing on. ❏ Deselect the High Speed setting (for bi-directional printing) in your printer driver software.
