How to improve print quality of your Epson XP-425 printer?

If your printer is producing blurry prints, prints with banding or missing colours, faded colours, misalignment, and mosaic-like patterns. Then this may be a result of your faulty Epson XP-425 ink cartridges or blocked printhead. To resolve such issues follow the steps below:

Step 1: Run the nozzle check, and then clean the printhead if any of the print head nozzles are clogged

Step 2: Use paper sheets that meet the media specification of the printer. Do not print on paper that is damp, damaged, or too old

Step 3: If the paper is curled or the envelope is puffed up, fix it

Step 4: When printing images or photos, print using high-resolution data. As using the low resolution may decline the print quality

Step 5: Print using a high quality setting on the control panel or in the printer driver

Step 6: When images or photos are printed in unexpected colours, adjust the colour and then print again. The automatic colour correction feature uses the standard PhotoEnhance correction mode. Try another mode by selecting an option other than Auto Correct. If the problem continues, use any other colour correction feature

Select Custom as the Colour Correction setting on the printer driver's More Options tab. Click Advanced, and then select anything other than PhotoEnhance as the Colour Management setting.

1. Select Colour Matching from the printer driver's pop-up menu, and then select EPSON Colour Controls.

2. Select Colour Options from the pop-up menu, and then select anything other than PhotoEnhance.

Step 7: Disable the bidirectional (or high speed) setting. When this setting is enabled, the print head prints while moving in both directions, and vertical lines may be misaligned. If you disable this feature, printing may slow down

Step 8: Dry the printouts completely before filling or displaying them. When drying the printouts, avoid direct sunlight, do not use a dryer, and do not touch the printed side of paper

Step 9: Try to use high quality Epson XP-425 ink cartridges. This product is designed to adjust colours based on the use of your ink cartridges. Use of low quality may decline the print quality
