You see wrong or missing colors.

■ Make sure an ink cartridge isn’t too

old or low on ink. To replace an ink

cartridge, see page 40.

■ Make sure the Ink setting is set to

Color for color images and your

application is set for color printing.

■ Make sure the print head nozzles are

not clogged. To clean the print head,

see page 37.

■ If you’re printing a high-resolution

image, turn off PhotoEnhance as

described on page 18.

■ Try using Automatic mode. See

page 9 (Windows) or page 16

(Macintosh) for instructions.

■ You may be using a PhotoEnhance

special effect that alters image colors,

such as Sepia; see page 18.

■ No printing system can exactly

match your on-screen colors.

However, you can use a color

management system to get as close as

possible. See the advanced color

management tips on page 21 and

your electronic Reference Guide.

■ You may be printing a file saved in

CMYK format. To print correctly,

the file should be saved in RGB

format. See the color matching tips

on page 20.

■ Due to the nature of pigment-based

inks, lighting conditions can affect

the appearance of your printed

output. Generally, colors look more

accurate when illuminated by a D50

light source.

You see colored hues in the gray parts

of a black-and-white photograph.

On the EPSON Stylus Photo 2000P,

grayscale images look best when printed

in color mode. Color mode provides

the smoothest gradations, but may

make some hues noticeable. For best

results, make sure the Media Type

setting matches the paper you loaded

(see page 25) and try one of the

following:

■ Leave Color as the Ink setting (the

EPSON Stylus Photo 2000P is not

recommended for neutral

black-and-white photography).

■ Clean and align your print head, as

described on page 37 and page 43.

■ If you scanned the image, make sure

you calibrated the color correctly

with your scanning software.

■ Create a color calibration profile with

a color management program to

improve the image’s color balance.
