Your printout is blurry or smeared. s Make sure your paper isn't damp or curled, or loaded face down (the printable side should be face up). If it's damp or curled, reload a new stack of paper. s Use a support sheet with special paper, or try loading your paper one sheet at a time. s Make sure your paper meets the specifications listed in the on-screen Reference Guide. s Use EPSON papers to ensure proper saturation and absorption of genuine EPSON inks. Non-EPSON paper may not be compatible and may produce ink bleeding or pooling. s Always use genuine EPSON ink cartridges and do not refill them. Other products may not provide the quality you expect and may damage your printer. s Run the Print Head Alignment utility. See page 72 for instructions. s Check the paper thickness lever position. If it's in the + position, your printer is set for thicker paper or envelopes and your image may smear. For most papers, set the paper thickness lever to the 0 position, as shown on page 82. s Remove each sheet from the output tray after printing, especially when you're printing on transparencies. Your printout is faint or has gaps in the image. s The print head nozzles may need cleaning; see page 66 for instructions. s The ink cartridges may be old or low on ink. To replace an ink cartridge, see page 68. s Make sure the Media Type setting matches the paper you loaded. See page 42 for guidelines. s Make sure your paper isn't damaged, old, dirty, or loaded face down. If it is, reload a new stack of paper with the printable side up; it is usually whiter or shinier than the other side. s Always use genuine EPSON ink cartridges and do not refill them. Other products may not provide the quality you expect and may damage your printer. 83
