If you notice that your print quality is uneven, too light, too
dark, or there are vertical or horizontal lines in the print
(banding), try these solutions:
- Run a nozzle
check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then
clean the print head, if necessary.
- Align the
print head.
- Perform Feed Adjustment for the media. For the most accurate
adjustment, print a test pattern using the Manual > 500mm Pattern setting. The same
media in a different width may require different adjusment
values.
- Use genuine Epson ink packs and make sure the ink packs have
not expired.
- Raise the temperature of the after heater, and give the heater
and your media time to warm up before printing again.
- Make sure the media settings in your RIP software are correct
for the media you are using.
- Set the Head Movement setting to
Printer Full Width on the product
control panel for higher quality printouts.
- If you are
comparing the print result with the image on your computer screen,
the colors may not match. Since monitors and printers produce
colors differently, printed colors and screen colors do not always
look the same.
- Make sure
that the printer cover is closed. Do not open any printer covers
during printing. This can cause the print head to stop abruptly,
resulting in uneven color.
- If you print with 1 or 2 passes in the RIP software, reduce the
feed speed in the RIP software.
- Check that the media holding plates are installed correctly and
are not damaged.
- If you are using the media settings in the product control
panel, set the Feed Speed setting to
Lv1.
