Epson Stylus are inkjets, right?

Anyway, whatever it is, print a test page and see if you have the same problem. If you dont then your problem is with your print software. If you do then its drivers, or maybe something as simple as an empty ink tank.

The in cartridges are full and the print preview is okay too.Maybe it can't make the colors i dunno.

Paper quality makes more of a difference than people think when printing photo's and pics. Most printer's only produce good results when using paper recommended by the manufacturer, in this case Epson. Check the manual or the website to see what paper they recommend and then make sure you've got your printer set up to reproduce what your printing correctly. If your trying to print graphics, and the printer is set up to print text, it's not gonna work very well.

Have you checked your color cartridge? Some, like mine, are ONE cartridge for all colors but black and that means if one color is low, it will have trouble creating some combinations. [img]smile.gif[/img]

So choose a color you DO have and use alot of it!

I still say you should use a machete.. [img]graemlins/1disgust.gif[/img]
