epson printer smearing
2004-02-16 by skundell
Hopefully someone can give advice on my epson 7000. It sat around unused for several months. I purged inks, then installed piezotones. I get a great nozzle check, and prints look great except for large puddles of ink smeared across some parts of the image, usually near the edges. A service message 100 went off a while ago, I simply reset the counter because the waste pads still looked OK. Does this sound like the head cleaner or pump assemblies need replacing? Is there any simpler approach? Thanks SK
