Why is my Epson Printer printing blurry or smeared?
- PperezmiguelAug 21, 2025
A blurry or smeared printout from your Epson printer can be caused by several factors. Ensure the printer is on a flat, stable surface. Verify your paper is dry, the printable side is up, and it's an acceptable type. If the paper curls toward the printable side, flatten it or curl it slightly in the opposite direction. Adjust the lever to the ^ position and confirm the Media Type setting in the LCD panel is correct. Remove sheets from the output tray as they print, especially transparencies. When printing on glossy media, use a support sheet or load one sheet at a time. For thick media, set the adjust lever to the ^ position. Also, try running the Head Cleaning utility.
