My epson cx3810 is smearing the type when printed. Just off set a little where the print looks bold. It also has offset light blue color eventhough I'm printing black.

Make sure you are using the correct version of the Print CD. If you had a older Epson printer with this program remove it, and install the one that is on the disk.

If you are operating on a Mac and it has automatically updated to the latest OS, remove and reinstall the program.

SOURCE: Epson CX3810 - not printing in blue - can't find ink status

The usual reasons for ink failing to get to the paper are either a blocked/faulty print head, or an empty/faulty cartridge. If you have been using the printer regularly without a long disuse period, then suspect the cartridge first.

You say the cartridge definitely has ink. The ink level indicator may well be misleading you. The printer determines the amount of ink left in the cartridge by counting the number of ink "shots" when printing, head cleaning etc. This information is stored in the chip on the cartridge. Thus, it is not an actual measurement of the ink left, but an estimate calculated by subtracting the total shots from the original full ink quantity. This estimate can sometimes be grossly in error, usually due to a cartridge replacement not being carried out correctly, a cartridge that wasn't filled properly etc. Alternatively, the cartridge could be faulty and not delivering ink even though it contains some. The only simple way to check this is to replace the cartridge with a new one. You can re-use the original cartridge later if it turns out not to be the problem, but make sure you tape up the feed hole and breather channels to stop the internal sponge drying out.

If the cartridge is not the culprit, you can try soaking the print head to dispel blockages caused by dried ink in the nozzles. Turn the printer on, and as soon as the print head moves out of its parking position, pull the power cord out of the back, or turn the printer off at the mains. You may now carefully move the print head by hand over to the left hand side out of the way. Look inside the print head parking area on the right and you will see a small rubber cup that comes up to cover the print nozzles when the head is parked (to stop it drying out). Use a syringe or dropper to fill this cup with head cleaning fluid or distilled water. DO NOT USE TAP WATER. Carefully push the print head by hand fully into its parking position so that the cup full of fluid comes up over the print head. Do not turn the printer on at any stage in this process. Leave this for at least 24 hours, then turn the printer on and try a head clean/nozzle check again. If you get any cyan ink on the nozzle check, then there is hope! Repeat the head clean process 2 or 3 times, but not more; leave for 24 hours for air bubbles to disperse then repeat. If nothing, repeat the soak process once more. If still nothing, post a new comment detailing what you have done and the results.

Everytime I print everything is smeared. I can't understand the words. Epson styluss nx 400

Do a printer check first. Print a nozzle check pattern. If you see any gaps or breaks or missing colors on the pattern, clean the printhead.
Possible paper setting issue too. Make sure that you are selecting the correct paper type on the print settings page.

Epson CX3810 prints black but won't print colors

Hi, I am assuming your PC is relatively new. You have had a working printer, installed the new printer and ran the installation c.d. If you have marked the new printer.... (go to programs, control panel, printer and open) when open...note the little check on one of the icons. Is your new printer the default printer? To change...right click over the icon, look for the "Set as default printer". Left click this. Now......as for color.....when you place your cursor over the new icon....right click. The box which opens will show printer preferences. Left click this. When this box opens, go to the color tab. Left click this. Look to see if printer is in Color options or Grayscale. G.S. will prevent this new printer from color access.
I hope this helps.....Thank you for coming to Fixya and let me know.......there are some other things to look at if I'm on the wrong path..
