Epson CX-6400 : why are my photos so ugly ?

Hello everyone,

I have tried recently to print photos on my Epson CX-6400 with original ink
cartridges on Epson Photo Premium Glossy Paper, and I had bad results in
High or Very High quality:

- a very granulous picture, especially on red and sunny parts, with a very
low definition on away parts
- vertical lines everywhere
- on photos taken inside, with the flash light, the colors are very dark,
and bodies & faces are very red.

After 2 days, these photos seem to be better, but still they are ugly...

I compared the same photos to ones printed with my Canon i560, on the Epson
paper, which were like argentic photos. That means it doesn't come from a
bad quality of the photos taken by my Canon Powershot...

I eventually cleaned the heads, aligned them and tested all automatic color
adjustements available and nothing changed...

Is all that so ugly because the CX-6400 is not designed for printing photos,
Does it come from the too glossy paper ?

Thanks for any help
and excuse my poor english, as it's not my mother's tongue...
 
If you are using Epson "Premium Glossy Photo Paper" (PGPP) this is your
problem, it is not compatible with the CX6400 DuraBrite ink. You must use
"DURABRITE ink Glossy Photo Paper"

The PGPP is compatible with Epson dye based inks and the CX6400 uses pigment
based inks.
Good luck
