Incorrect Colors

If your printouts have incorrect colors, try these solutions:

• Make sure the paper type setting matches the paper you loaded.

• Make sure the

Grayscale

setting is not selected in your printer software.

• If you selected

Standard-Vivid

(Windows) or

Normal-Vivid

(Mac) as the quality setting in the printer

software, try selecting

Standard

(Windows) or

Normal

(Mac) instead.

• Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if

necessary.

• The ink levels may be low and you may need to refill the ink. Visually check the ink levels.

• If you printed when the ink levels were too low to be seen in the ink tank windows, refill the ink tanks to

the upper lines and run the Power Cleaning utility. Then run a nozzle check to see if print quality has

improved.

• After you print, the colors in your printout need time to set as the ink dries. During this time, the colors

may look different than you expect. To speed up drying time, do not stack your printouts on top of each

other.

• 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. Try using the color management options in your

printer software.

• For best results, use genuine Epson ink and paper.

• If you have not used the product for a long time, run the Power Cleaning utility.
