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 faceup in one of the cassettes (the printable
side should be facedown).
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.
Adjust the Print Density and/or Ink Drying Time settings.
Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if
necessary.
