why is my color printed so faded?

A better quality paper that is not so porous will give you brighter colors instead of looking washed out and faded.

Is the protective tape off? How long have your cartridges. Is the cover closed all the way?

I have printed ONLY on plain paper - not on photo paper - and "blacks" often print as faded, or downright grey. I would not recommend this for your desired use. (At least, not on plain paper!)

It prints only in black and white - not color. I think :-) I am very happy with mine, if that's any help. FAST and efficient.

Something is wrong with my printing this week.Normally I get a warning about which of the colours is empty,but this time I haven't although the printing is not OK.Any ideas?

I have printed in only black and white. Just now, I removed the 3 color cartridges, and it would not print. May be missing something, but I think all the cartridge slots must be filled.

I can not guarantee how color images will come out on this paper. It will depend on the printer. Feel free to message us to get a sample to test print. Thanks

Epson printers use multiple colors, even when printing black and white. If something is out of whack you will see it reflected in print quality. Try cleaning the heads using the print utility. If that doesn't work you may have an out of date print driver. You can download those from Epson's website. A new print driver will give you different options for printing and will change the look of your print dialog box. If you have a photo manipulation program like Photoshop you can adjust your photos before printing to give them more of a sepia tone.

Could be, that the ink is too cold. Keep it in your pocket for a bit and see if that helps.

My project was on a cotton t-shirt and has faded with washing. Polyester probably will be a little different but to make it as colorfast as you can, I would advise pressing with a warm iron before washing. Also when using dye, it helps make items colorfast to soak in vinegar and let dry before use or washing. Good luck!

Yellow traditionally does not show up with a copy machine. The other colors will likely show up faintly, but I haven't tried them.

Set it to print to Black and White print as a default. It is probable pulling from all the colors. If you are printing web pages, then they come out gray when all the colors are used.

When you go to "print page" you put "black" instead of "collor" page. Hope you can do it.

It depends on your printer and your settings. I printed pictures and the color came out really good but it took a couple of tries playing with the settings. I think I finally just used plain paper but with best photo. Hope this helps. And this did not stick well to a painted wall.

just a iron will do. I foyu ar printing on dark fabric, make sure you get the transfer for light fabric. Same for dark fabric, make sure it for dark fabric.

It will affect the print colors only a little. Pink will be a bit more orange and green a bit more olive. Background will of course be orange, so there will be less contrast between print and background. Sounds like a cool idea.

It will continue to print color will be degraded due to the missing color. Black will not be affected.

You can try a couple things: Print &gt; Properties &gt; Basic tab &gt; change print quality to fine, then click on 'Settings' and check 'Improve Pattern Printing'. Also from the Settings window, there is another 'Settings' button - click that to adjust color You can also try: Print &gt; Properties &gt; Advanced tab &gt; Other Print Options &gt; Improve Toner Fixing Also remember to choose the correct Media (paper type). After all that, however, my Epson inkjet still produces much better photo quality, especially on glossy paper.
