Paper Type and Banding

Banding can be caused by several problems, such as clogged print head nozzles or a misaligned print head. It can also be caused by using a paper that is not defined in the Epson printer driver or in a third-party RIP. To correct this problem, make sure you select the correct paper type in the driver.

If your paper type is not defined, use the printer’s SelecType menu system to create a custom paper type. See “Optimizing the Settings for Your Paper” in the Printer Guide.

Running a Nozzle Check and Cleaning Cycle

If your printed image is unexpectedly faint or dots are missing from the printout, you should check the print head to see if any nozzles are clogged.

You can check the print head and turn on the Auto Cleaning feature at the same time, using your printer utility software. This enables the printer to print a nozzle check pattern, read it, and automatically run a cleaning cycle if necessary.
