Incorrect Colors
If your printouts have incorrect colors, try these solutions:
• Make sure the paper type setting matches the paper you loaded.
• Make sure the
Grayscale
setting is not selected in your printer software.
• Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if
necessary.
• After you print, the colors in your printout need time to set as the ink dries. During this time, the colors
may look different than you expect. To speed up drying time, do not stack your printouts on top of each
other.
• Your printed colors can never exactly match your on-screen colors. However, you can use a color
management system to get as close as possible. Try using the color management options in your
printer software.
• Try turning off the
PhotoEnhance
setting in Windows.
• Select
Custom
as the
Color Correction
setting on the More Options tab of the printer software, then
click
Advanced
. Try changing the
Scene Correction
setting to something other than
Automatic
. If
changing that setting does not work, change the
Color Management
setting to any color correction
method other than
PhotoEnhance
.
• If you are using the Windows PostScript printer software, try adjusting the
Color Mode
setting on the
Advanced tab of the printer software.
• For best results, use genuine Epson paper.
• Remove any dust or dirt on the originals and clean the scanner glass.
• Do not press with too much force on the original or the document cover.
• On the product control panel, change the
Fix Photo
setting from
Auto
to another option, or select
Enhance Off
.
• If you are copying an original, lower the
Density
setting.
