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 adjustment values.
- Use genuine
Epson ink cartridges and make sure the cartridges 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 are
printing with the White or Metallic Silver ink cartridges, remove
and shake the ink cartridge, reinstall the ink cartridge, and
perform Ink Circulation from the
Maintenance menu several times (SC-S80600).
