Epson Stylus NX530 All-in-One Printer

Your monitor and the product 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 matches the paper you loaded.



• Make sure your printer software is not set to print in Black/Grayscale.



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



• Clean the print head nozzles.



• The ink cartridges may be old or low on ink. check the ink cartridges and replace them, if necessary.



• Try turning off Fix Photo in the printer software.



• With Mac OS X, try using Automatic mode.



• Try changing the Gamma setting in your printer software.



• Use a color management system. Try using the ICM ColorSync setting.



• After you print, the colors on your printout will need some time to set as the ink dries. During this time, the colors may look different than you expect. Allow your printout to dry completely.
