How to fix Epson Printer Skipping Lines Issue?



Introduction

A printer may be a device that accepts text and graphics output from a computer and transfers the information to paper, usually to standard size sheets of paper. Printers vary in size, speed, sophistication, and cost. In general, more expensive printers are used for higher-resolution color printing.
If you have an Epson printer and your prints are coming out faint, incomplete, or streaked with lines, chances are you have a clogged nozzle–a common problem many users have with Epson printers. This is a common printer issue and can occur due to various reasons, which include:
             Nozzle clogs
             Misaligned print heads
             Low-quality print settings
             Incorrect paper thickness settings
