How to improve the poor print quality of Epson XP-432 printer?
The users of Epson XP-432 printer might face several print quality problems like blurry, smeared, broken prints or the quality of a printed document or photo is not as expected. The possibility of having such issue gradually increases with time when the printer is not been used for printing on the regular basis.

Follow the steps below to resolve such issues:
- Use the recommended paper supported by this printer

- Do not print on paper that is damp, damaged, or too old. This may give blur prints
- If the paper is curled or the envelope is puffed up, flatten it
- Perform a nozzle check, and then clean the printhead if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Cleaning them probably resolve the issue
- Align the print head
- Print using a higher print quality setting
- Do not stack the paper immediately after printing
- Dry the printouts completely before filing or displaying them. When drying the printouts, avoid direct sunlight, do not use a dryer, and do not touch the printed side of paper
- When printing images or photos, Epson recommends to use high-quality Epson paper rather than a plain paper. Print on the printable side of the Epson paper
- Try to use high-quality compatible Epson XP-432 ink cartridges. This product is designed to adjust colours based on the use of good quality cartridges. The use of poor ink cartridges may cause print quality to decline
- Epson recommends to use the Epson XP-432 ink cartridges before the date printed on the package
