How can I tell if the computer or the printer is causing a print quality problem?
A:
You can print a nozzle check pattern to determine whether the print quality problem is caused by the Epson Stylus Photo RX680 Series or some other source.

In both cases be sure using correct ink. Use of generic ink can lead to leakage of catrridge seats do to crossion from inferrior ink quality (per Cannon). Be sure ink in proper locations - see manual. Run the maintenance proceedures: cleaning then print nozzle pattern. If all colors are not proper after two or three cleanings, perform deep cleaning. Print nozzle pattern after each cleaning. This should clear up problem. If not, print head may need replacement.
SOURCE: testing color ink cartridge
Remove the print cartridge and press the head of cartridge on the tissue paper firmly.if the cartridge is okay it should shows three colors on the tissue.that are cyan(blue), yellow and magenta(pink).if you see any color missing that means the particular color is empty or dried up.get the cartridge refilled or replaced if necessary.
