*** I'll be more than happy to help you on that.
you might be talking about R280, because theres no R290 for epson.
there is a great possibility thatsome of the nozzles of your printer are clogged by dried inks, thats why when it prints, the inks are not equally distributed or is not balanced.to check that, print a nozzle check, and if you see gaps or breaks, between the lines, do head cleaning. this is how you can do it, its very easy for you.
Using the Buttons on the Printer
1.
Make sure the printer is turned on but not printing, that the CD/DVD tray is not inserted in the printer, and the red
ink light is not on. (If the red
ink light is on, you need to
replace a cartridge.)
2.
Turn the printer off and make sure the front tray is in the paper (lower) position.
3.
Make sure letter-size plain paper is loaded in the printer.
4.
Hold down the paper button, then press the
power button. Hold down both buttons until the
power light begins to flash, then release the
power button.
5.
When the nozzle check starts to print release the paper button. Check the
nozzle check pattern that prints to see if there are gaps in the lines.
6.
If there are no gaps or lines, the print head does not need to be cleaned.
If there are gaps or lines, or the test patterns are faint, follow the steps in do the Head Cleaning to clean the nozzles.
Using the Buttons on the Printer
1.
Make sure the printer is turned on but not printing, and the red ink light is off. (If the red
ink light is flashing or on, you need to
replace a cartridge.)
2.
Hold down the ink button on the printer for approximately 3 seconds.
The printer runs a head cleaning cycle and the green power light flashes. Cleaning takes several seconds.
Caution:
Never turn off the printer while head cleaning is in progress. You may damage it.
Do not insert the CD/DVD tray until cleaning has finished.
3.
When the green power light stops flashing, make sure paper is loaded in the printer, then print a
nozzle check to determine whether you need to clean the print head again.
Print Head Nozzles
If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning three times, turn the printer off and wait overnight. This allows any dried ink to soften. Then, try cleaning the print head again.
