• Color Density lets you control the ink saturation level (for example,
when you turn off color management in your printer software).
• Drying Time per Print Head Pass lets you print with non-Epson
media and avoid smearing the ink. You can make the print head
wait up to 5 seconds after each pass to allow ink to dry on the page.
• Paper Feed Adjustment helps reduce banding. Choose a lower
value if you see white lines on your prints, or a higher value if you
see dark lines.
• Paper Thickness helps reduce vertical banding and creates a
sharper image when printing on unusually thick or thin paper.
• Platen Gap lets you fine-tune the setting for unusually thick or
thin paper.
Note: You may need to
change the Color Density
setting if your custom
color profile was created
to optimize D-max and
color gamut.
