Photography Question 

Denis Hall 		 

printing problem


 
 
I have an older printer, Epson 1270 Photo Sylus, which has served me well except for a periodically recurring problem. The print heads run lines of one color-sometimes magenta, sometimes cyan--across the photo and into the margins of the paper. About the time I hit the ceiling, its stops doing it. I've changed ink cartridges and sometimes that fixes the problem. But I just replaced with a new cartridge and it's doing it again. I know it's the printer because the problem occurs in different application programs. Please help. My workflow is at a standstill. Thanks in advance.

Kerry L. Walker 		  Chances are you need to clean the print head nozzles. Check the utilities on your printer software for how to do this.

Denis Hall 		  Thanks, Kerry. I've cleaned and aligned my print head nozzles until I'm blue in the face. I pratically memorized the manual, and talked to Epson even though the warranty is up. Still clueless.

Nicole K. Peterson 		  You might have to bring it in and have it cleaned. About 2 years ago this happened to mine (black lines & splotches) $50 Comp USA

Denis Hall 		  Thanks Nicole, that's about what I've come around to. Nearest Epson facility is about 31/2 hrs. one way so I've been trying to avoid it. But...thanks.
