Printing with Epson Drivers for Windows 115

Select the correct settings to match your ICC profile. These settings override any paper configuration settings you may have made using the printer’s control panel.

•Color Density lets you control the ink saturation level (for example, when you turn off color management in your printer software).

•Drying Time per Print Head Pass lets you print with non-Epson media and avoid smearing the ink. You can make the print head wait up to 5 seconds after each pass to allow ink to dry.

•Paper Feed Adjustment helps reduce banding. Choose a lower value if you see white lines on your prints, or a higher value if you see dark lines.

•Paper Suction lets you decrease the paper suction level when printing on thinner papers (less than 12 lb), such as CAD drafting paper.

•Paper Thickness helps reduce vertical banding and creates a sharper image when printing on unusually thick or thin paper.

•Cut Method decreases the cutting blade pressure for thinner media, and adjusts the speed for thick media. You may need to experiment to determine the best setting for your paper.

•Platen Gap lets you fine-tune the setting for various paper thicknesses.
