Blurry or Smeared Printout

If your printouts are blurry or smeared, try these solutions:

• Make sure your paper is not damp, curled, old, or loaded facedown in the sheet feeder (the printable

side should be faceup).

• Use a support sheet with special paper, or load special paper one sheet at a time.

• Make sure your paper meets the specifications for your product.

• Use EPSON papers to ensure proper saturation and absorption of genuine EPSON inks.

• Make sure the paper type setting in your product software matches the type of paper you loaded.

• Remove each sheet from the output tray as it is printed.

• Avoid handling printouts on glossy paper right after printing to allow the ink to set.

• Turn off any high speed settings in your product software.

• If you print on both sides of a sheet of paper, smudges may appear on the reverse side of heavily

saturated or dark images. If one side of a sheet will contain a lighter image or text, print that side first.

• Clean the print head.

• Align the print head.

• Clean the paper path.
