Fuzzy black text

[Mattie]

Hi Guys

When printing black text or thin black lines on my Epson B40W it comes out very fuzzy.

i have tried doing cleaning process and head alignment but nothing is working

can anyone help?

What does the nozzle check look like?

Hi

Nozzle check is coming back good.

Do you get a perfect text print from the nozzle check as well? Might be that the heads need a clean if the text print isn't perfect.

Text on nozzle check is slightly fuzzy

You will need to resolve this first, ideally.
Or, try printing at BEST PHOTO or the next level up in photo print quality. Also remove the HIGH SPEED tick to see if all that helps.

Hi that's solved the fuzzy text problem. But now i have weird lines down right side of paper when it prints out.

Can you post a picture/ scan of the weird lines?

He scanned this printoutthe lines appear worse the larger the printout

Is this printing onto trupix paper with the bright White side up? The quality doesn't look fantastic from the scan so I'm wondering if there is a problem with the print out. Check the head alignment as well ad the nozzle check pattern. The print should look richer on paper than the scan shows.
