Improving Print Quality

If you find that your print quality has been declining, you can often improve it by doing one of the following:

Clean the print heads following the instructions in Chapter 5.

Use higher quality paper appropriate for your print job. (See Chapter 2 for a list of EPSON papers).

Match the Media Type in the main printer settings dialog box to the type of paper or media you loaded in the printer. (See Chapter 1 for details).

Turn off High Speed mode in the advanced printer settings dialog box, as described in Chapter 3.

Replace the ink cartridges as described in Chapter 5. (Check the status of the B black and A color ink out lights first.)
