Having left my 4900 in a state of 4-6 colors not printing correctly, no matter how many clean/powerful cleans I did (I don't do excessive amounts as I figure if powerful doesn't have any affect, more isn't better).

This morning, I turned it back on and did a nozzle check to see where we were at, and low and behold, it's perfect.

I sure hope this isn't a regular problem.  The printheads for these things are $1200 alone.  I can't imagine how much it would be serviced out of warranty.

This is the craziness I live with this 4900. I don't know if it's really a clog, or a bad printhead with electrical problems. It seems it's not a clog, and maybe I'm wasting ink trying to clean it!

I went through the same thing.

Anyway, this morning, she's good. Why? I couldn't say.

Mine is still messed up.  Epson had all my extended warranty information but they still setup the repair as an out of warranty setup.  I called and bitched to them about it and they're going to fix that now.  I was impressed with the service at first but setting this call up was not at all fun.
