    Why is my Epson printout color different from other printers?
    • P
      Patrick EspinozaSep 2, 2025
      Printout color differences between Epson printers are often due to varying printer driver default settings and color tables. To address this, set the gamma setting to 1.8 in the More Settings dialog box in the printer driver, then print again. If you still do not get the printouts you expect, adjust the color using the slide bar for each color.
