• After you print, the colors in your printout need time to set as the ink dries. During this time, the colors
may look different than you expect. To speed up drying time, do not stack your printouts on top of each
other.
• 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. Try using the color management options in your
printer software.
• Select Custom as the Color Correction setting on the More Options tab of the printer software, then
click Advanced. Try changing the Scene Correction setting to something other than Automatic. If
changing that setting does not work, change the Color Management setting to any color correction
method other than PhotoEnhance.
• For best results, use genuine Epson paper.
• If you have not used the product for a long time, run the Power Cleaning utility.
Note: Power Cleaning consumes a lot of ink, so run this utility only if you cannot improve print quality
by cleaning the print head.
