Why is my Epson Artisan 1430 print quality bad?
- MMatthew WrightJul 26, 2025
Several factors can affect print quality. Ensure you're loading paper with the printable side up (usually the whiter or glossy side). For optimal results, use Epson papers and genuine Epson ink cartridges. Also, verify that the paper type selected in the printer software matches the paper you've loaded. If you see light or dark bands, perform a nozzle check to see if the print head requires cleaning. For jagged vertical lines, you might need to align the print head. Low ink levels can also impact quality, so check your cartridge levels and replace them if necessary.
