How to fix a light or faded print issue for Epson Stylus Photo R320 printer using the Epson Stylus Photo R320 Ink Cartridges?
If you notice that the printout is suddenly bad or any dots are missing, you might be able to fix these problems by cleaning the print head, which ensures the ink is distributed correctly by the nozzles.

- If the message 'ink out' is displayed or the ink icon flashes to show ink low on the LCD screen, replace the cartridges with Epson Stylus Photo R320 Ink Cartridges.

- Check that no warnings or errors are displayed on the LCD screen.
- Press the maintenance button in Advanced mode.
- Hold the button to position the cursor at Head Cleaning and then press the OK button.
- Follow the instructions displayed in the LCD screen and press the OK button.
- The print head cleaning starts.
- Repeat the procedure 4-5 times, if the print quality has not improved, turn the printer OFF and leave it alone overnight. Do the nozzle check again, and repeat the head cleaning process if necessary.
