Q:
What should I do if my printout has incorrect or missing colors?
A:
The problem could be due to a software setting, the product's condition, or the paper you're using. Check the following:
Make sure your
Windows
,
Mac OS X 10.4
, or
Mac OS X 10.5/10.6
printer software is not set to print in grayscale.
The print head nozzles may need
cleaning
.
The ink cartridges may be old or low on ink, and you may need to
replace them
.
Try turning off
Fix Photo
in the
Windows
or
Mac OS X 10.5/10.6
printer software or on the product's
control panel
.
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
or
Mac OS X 10.5/10.6
).
For best results, use genuine Epson ink and paper, and use up an ink cartridge within 6 months of opening the package.
