Home printing unit 310

I have decided to print 1 of my portrait photos at home
 to show the various methods of printing

My home printer EPSON STYLUS DX6050

First you can decide how you wanted your picture printed

from what size of paper to how many photos on one page

You can then decide what orttenration you want your picture

and in advance mode you can use black ink only

my pc and the printer it self shows how much ink you have left

                                          you have options for quality of paper draft just text
                                        , text and image , photo quality and best quality option

Printer problems

There is a option for a preview just before you print

This is a great tool just to make sure you have anything right

Printing results and problems

I have not used my printer for few months so

My first prints had problems

Problem print > Only prints part of image

Also Image is not straight

Solution clean print heads make sure you in line your paper

Printing problem >horizontal banding

 Horizontal banding usually mean there is a blocked nozzle

Solution clean print heads

Problem print  > Prints black as red

Solution your black ink could be too low

so your printer is using red as it is the dominant colour
