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 facedown in the sheet feeder (the printable
side should be faceup).
• 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.
• Turn off any high speed settings in your product software.
• 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.
