The quality of my printed output is unacceptable. What should I do?

• Make sure you are printing the image at its actual size. If you try to increase the print size of a low resolution image, it will be very pixelated.
  
  Verify that you are using the correct printer driver for your printer model. If MicroWeave is off, turn this feature on in advanced settings. If High Speed is on, turn it off.
  
  Make sure the Media Type setting matches the paper or media loaded. Let the printer driver automatically select the settings for the best quality.
  
  Verify that the printable side of the paper is face up, and check the type of paper being used. EPSON brand paper, which is specifically designed for the Stylus ink jet series of printers, delivers the best-printed output.
  
  If your output is faint, check the printer driver to make sure you have selected a print resolution other than Economy.
  
  The resolution of your image may also be set too low. Increase the image resolution using your image-editing software, or decrease the size of the image.
  
  Also, try testing the printer on another computer. This will eliminate the possibility of a defective printer cable, USB port, or software issue. If you're still experiencing a problem, try replacing the ink cartridge and make sure you are using a genuine EPSON ink cartridge.
