A:AnswerHello Harold. Different variables can cause a shift in color on the ET-4850. You want to make sure that you have installed the correct print driver from our official Epson Support page. Paper selection could also be an issue If you use third-party paper not tested on the machine. Lastly, we would recommend printing a nozzle check from the maintenance menu. If you have any missing segments, you can complete cleanings as necessary. If you need additional assistance, don't hesitate to contact our Technical Support team. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHello Inquirer. For text quality issues on the ET-4850, we recommend choosing the Black/Grayscale option under quality settings on your computer. You can also select additional options like "Emphasize Text" under Image Options and "Standard-Vivid" under print quality. There is no specific recommendation for connections as the printer supports both Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity and should work fine as long as there are no wireless connectivity interruptions. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
