Epson WorkForce 520 All-in-One Printer

Your monitor and the all-in-one use different technologies to represent colors, so your printed colors can't match your screen colors exactly. Try increasing your monitor's color palette to view a greater range of colors, and then try the following:

• Make sure the paper Type or Media Type setting in the Windows, Mac OS X 10.5/10.6, or Mac OS X 10.4 printer driver matches the paper you loaded.



• Make sure your Windows, Mac OS X 10.5/10.6, or Mac OS X 10.4 printer software is not set to print in Black/Grayscale.



• For best results, use genuine Epson ink and paper.



• Print a nozzle check pattern. If there are gaps, clean the print head.



• Try turning off Fix Photo in the Windows or Mac OS X 10.5/10.6 printer software.



• With Mac OS X 10.5/10.6 or Mac OS X 10.4, try using Automatic mode.



• Try changing the Gamma setting in your Windows, Mac OS X 10.5/10.6, or Mac OS X 10.4 printer software.



• Use a color management system. Try using the ICM (Windows) or ColorSync (Mac OS X 10.4).
  
  In Mac OS X 10.5/10.6, you can select ColorSync from the Color Matching pop-up menu.



• Check the ink cartridge status. If any ink cartridge is low, you may need to replace it to improve print quality.
