Blurry or Smeared Printout

If your printouts are blurry or smeared, try these solutions:

• Make sure your paper is not damp, curled, old, or loaded incorrectly in your product.

• Use a support sheet with special paper, or load special paper one sheet at a time.

• Place a piece of black paper on the back of the original and copy it again.

• Make sure your paper meets the specifications for your product.

• Use Epson papers to ensure proper saturation and absorption of genuine Epson inks.

• Make sure the paper type setting in your product software matches the type of paper you loaded.

• If you are printing on letterhead paper, make sure the paper size setting matches the size of paper you

loaded. If you select a paper size that is too large for the paper you loaded, the product may print
beyond the edges of the paper and cause ink to smear.
