Note:
❏
To maintain print quality, we recommend printing a few pages on a regular basis.

If print quality does not improve, make sure you selected the appropriate color according to the nozzle check result.
❏
If print quality has not improved after repeating this procedure about four times, turn the printer off and wait for at least
six hours. Then run the nozzle check again and repeat the head cleaning if necessary. If print quality has still not
improved, contact Epson support.
