If you are experiencing banding on the Epson carry out the following...
- Run a Nozzle Check: This will help you identify if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. If you find gaps in the nozzle check pattern, clean the print head nozzles

- Check Paper Settings: Ensure that the paper type setting matches the type of paper you are using. Incorrect settings can cause banding1.
- Align the Print Head: Misalignment can lead to banding. Use the print head alignment function to correct this1.
- Adjust Print Quality Settings: Sometimes, adjusting the print quality settings in your printer software can help reduce banding1.
- Turn Off High-Speed Settings: High-speed printing can sometimes cause banding. Try turning off any high-speed settings in your printer software1.
- Perform Power Cleaning: If the issue persists and you haven't used the printer for a long time, running the Power Cleaning utility might help. Note that this consumes a lot of ink, so use it as a last resort1.
