Follow more steps to fix Epson printer not printing correctly issue.

The color cartridge for this printer has three colors (cyan, magenta, and yellow) within it. So if one runs out or is dried up if throws the color out of wack. Try running the head cleaning first but replacing the color cartridge should correct the problem.

You press the ink button and choose cleaning option and test print to see if colors are correct, clean again if colors are wrong. The spillage won't hurt print quality when it's around the cartridge area. If you are using generic inks they sometimes are not the correct color.

Just make sure the right colors are in the right place, photo magenta is not interchangeable regular magenta. Also run the nozzle check to make sure all colors print, if after 2 deep clean cycles you don't have all colors you may need a new printhead.

perform a color test, if they are not correct the cartridges are not placed correctly

If you installed new cartridges in teh color slot and it will not print from the computer in color, go into the printer setup menu, a button on the printer should take you here, and print an alignment page. If this fails to print correctly, select to perform a deep cleaning. This will use a lot of ink but will insure your nozzles are working correctly. If nothing prints or the color still isn't correct you will need to either manually clean the nozzles or have someone clean them. To be honest, depending on the cost of the printer it maybe more cost effective just to get a new printer than to have your manually cleaned. As inexpensive and printers are today I don't even replace cartridges anymore except for the black one. When the color runs out I get a new printer. The printer runs 35 to 39 dollars the color cartridge runs 35 to 37 dollars. But I don't do a lot of color printing. It is a choice the individual has to make.

will the solusyon dont used the ink only that..i dont if my answer is correct i think that answer is not correction
