Print quality problems Problem Solution Your print has banding (light or dark lines), or straight lines appear jagged or misaligned. • Run a nozzle check and cleaning cycle. See page 5-4 for instructions. • Align the print head, as described on page 5-7. • To eliminate banding, choose 1440 dpi as your resolution. • If you're using cut sheet media, make sure the printable side is face up. • Check the Ink Out lights to see if you are low on ink. Replace ink cartridges if necessary, as described on page 5-10. • Use the EPSON printer driver and 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's Advanced dialog box. • Use the Paper Configuration menu to make any needed adjustments. See page 2-28 to access the settings from the control panel; if your printer uses UltraChrome ink, you can access the settings from the EPSON driver software (see page 3-10 for Macintosh or page 4-10 for Windows). • Try changing the Paper Feed Adjustment to tune out banding. • Decrease the Paper Suction level if you're printing on thin paper that's getting saturated with ink. • If printing occurs faster than your computer can send data, the printer may pause during a print job. This lets the ink dry, causing a discolored band when the job resumes. Increase the Drying Time to ensure that ink blends more smoothly. • Decrease the ink saturation level using the Color Density setting (UltraChrome printers only; see page 2-28). • If your paper is of unusual thickness, reset the platen gap (page 2-25) and profile your paper's thickness (page 2-29); if you have an UltraChrome printer and you know the paper's thickness, you can enter it directly (see page 2-28).
