Then clean the print head, if necessary. • The ink cartridges may be old or low on ink, and you may need to replace them. • 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.
