I have an Epson 9800 that is a little more than 3 years old. It worked very well up to a couple of weeks ago. I do not print every day but at least once a week. The print quality went way down, showing tiny banding at high resolutions and the colors are off. i.e. I am getting green instead of deep black ect...When I ran a nozzle check, entire lines were missing in the first 2 or 3 colors. Muliple cleanings and a deep cleaning cycle did nothing to help. Just used a ton of inks and filled my maintenance tanks. On auto cleaning, it tries to clear the nozzles by running a few cycles then comes up with a frustrating cleaning error. How do I stop the bleeding!?

I ran accross the Lyson cleaning cartridges product on the web and thought that I would run a supersonic deep cleaning cycle with those installed instead of my inks as I am dismayed by the amount of ink that is being wasted with no result!!
Any advice or suggestions?
Thank you in advance
Ely

I finally got a technician to replace the print head and pump for 1k. So after about an additional k in wasted inks, maintenance tanks and cleaning solvents, the machine is running like new and I am a happy camper once again!
