Your printout is faint or has gaps. ■ Clean the print head; see page 57 for instructions. ■ The ink cartridges may be old or low on ink; see page 59. ■ Select the correct Type (Windows) or Media Type (Macintosh); see page 32. ■ Make sure your paper isn't damaged, old, dirty, or loaded face down.

You see wrong or missing colors. ■ Make sure Black Ink Only is off (Windows) or Color ink is selected (Macintosh), even when printing black and white photographs. ■ Clean the print head; see page 57 for instructions. ■ The ink cartridges may be old or low on ink; see page 59. ■ Try turning off PhotoEnhance.™ Also check if you're using a special effect that alters image colors, like Sepia. ■ If the contrast looks weak or detail is missing from the shadows, turn off EPSON Natural Color (Macintosh) or EPSON Vivid Color (Windows). ■ Try changing the Gamma setting. See page 28 (Windows) or page 30 (Macintosh). ■ 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. See the Photoshop color management instructions on page 48. If your photos have a green or pink color cast after using color management, see the solutions on page 56. Solving Problems 79
