My printout is blurry or smeared. What should I do?

  • Check the following:
    • Use a support sheet with special paper, or load special paper one sheet at a time.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • Clean the print head.
    • Align the print head.
    • Note: Your product will not operate properly while tilted at an angle. Place it on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the base of the product in all directions.
