Your printout is faint or has
gaps.
You see wrong or missing
colors.
You see incorrect
characters.
The print head nozzles may need cleaning; see page 26
for instructions.
The ink cartridges may be old or low on ink. To
replace an ink cartridge, see page 27.
Make sure the Media Type setting matches the paper
you loaded. See page 16 for guidelines.
Make sure your paper isn't damaged, old, dirty, or
loaded face-down. If it is, reload a new stack of paper
with the printable side up; it is usually whiter or
shinier than the other side.
Make sure the Ink setting is set to Color for color
images and your application is set for color printing.
The print head nozzles may need cleaning; see page 25
for instructions.
The ink cartridges may be old or low on ink. To
replace an ink cartridge, see page 27.
If you're printing a high-resolution image, turn off
PhotoEnhance, as described on page 11. Also check if
you're using a special effect that alters image colors,
such as Sepia.
Try using Automatic mode. See page 9 for
instructions.
Your printed colors can never exactly match your
on-screen colors. However, you can use a color
management system to get as close as possible. For
information, see your electronic Reference Guide (as
described on page 2).
Make sure the USB cable is securely connected and
that the cable meets the system requirements on
page 51. Then try printing again.
Make sure your EPSON 1000 ICS is selected in your
application, or as the Windows default printer.
If you're using a switch box with your EPSON 1000
ICS, connect the EPSON 1000 ICS directly to your
computer and try printing again.
