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.
When manually printing 2-sided, make sure the ink is completely dry before loading the paper.
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.
Dry printouts completely before filing or displaying them. When drying printouts, avoid direct sunlight,
do not use a dryer, and do not touch the printed side of the paper.
Do not stack printouts immediately after printing.
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.
Make sure the ink has dried before reloading the paper to print on the other side. Adjust the density
and/or ink drying time settings.
If printed copies are smeared, lower the copy density setting on the product control panel.
The ink levels may be low and you may need to refill the ink. Visually check the ink levels.
Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if
necessary.
Clean the paper path.
