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.

• 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 thick paper or envelopes, turn on the

Thick Paper

setting from the control panel

or select

Thick Paper and Envelopes

in the Extended Settings of the printer software. (Turning this

setting on will decrease print speed.)

• If you are printing on thick paper or envelopes, make sure you select the appropriate settings.

• Remove each sheet from the output tray as it is printed.

• Avoid handling printouts on glossy paper right after printing to allow the ink to set.

• Turn off any high speed settings in your product software.

• If you print on both sides of a sheet of paper, smudges may appear on the reverse side of heavily

saturated or dark images. If one side of a sheet will contain a lighter image or text, print that side first.
Adjust the density and/or ink drying time settings.

• If printed copies are smeared, lower the copy density setting on the product control panel.
