You could run it in single head mode...try on then the other, that one head could be intermittently faulty. It may also be a paper feed motor that is failing. Someone mentioned cleaning the encoder. Did you do that

This is a faulty print head, there is very bad deflection on the nozzles and if you zoom in on the C1 and M1 black numbers below, you can see splotches of ink over those......The head is misfiring cyan on black as well. It does look like ink starvation, but I am sure it is not......I have seen...

Thank You for the info!

Where do you insert the syringe to depressurize? The output in the dampers or the input to the ink holder assy? thanks

I'm an Epson authorized tech. Cyan and magenta, I believe, share one lane or small cap on the pump cap assy. Your nozzles look to be missing those two colors. I would suggest that this is a pump cap issue. I would clean the face of the head, clean the cap with a generous amount of cleaning...

You can also try to slow it down, ink over saturation with some media can cause it to swell and buckle....Lower dpi, less ink.....The drying suggestions are more likely.

Make sure the media settings are correct. See if there are any deflected nozzles on the nozzle test. Run the head alignments as previously suggested. You can also try uni or bi as they also suggested and try turning off one head to see if that makes a diff

I'm an Epson authorized tech in Los Angeles, you need to depressurize the system using the Epson Adjustment Program first, otherwise, the ink is going to be all over the place as it is under pressure. The part is $400-600 I believe. Weak pump caps can cause nozzle dropouts, as can old print heads.

Hello....I can help you with this....Call me on my cel 310-941-5748 and we can talk about it....Rob

If it is using EPSON firmware you will need the adjustment program which EPSON supplies to us service centers.....there are bootleg copies on ebay The pump cap assy is around $275 if you want to be proactive and replace, they do wear out, unlike many of the other parts that may come up as to be...

That part that you are referring to is the heater.....I am am Epson tech and have removed that part to get it through doors. There are a several screws around the perimeter that hold that cover on, the cover also has the heating elements strung under it. Once the screws are removed, lift up and...

Absolutely, I start with the one that has had the most recent issues: Dropped/Deflected nozzles, etc., then the oldest one, or I just start with the left out of habit it the other two factors do not apply

As an Epson tech, I see a lot of people swapping out the Main Formatter Board on Epson printers with the 1A39 print head Error. There is a small fuse on the board that can cause error as discussed first in the service manual, which is misleading. While I have done hundreds of heads I have seen...

I'm an authorized Epson Tech. That is most likely one of the print heads causing that. Have you seen any 1A39 Print Head Errors? One way to figure out if that is the issue when it becomes more consistent would be to put it in single head mode and see if you can isolate it to a specific head...

Howdy......did you get this resolved? I am working on one now with the same error....have replaced Sub Board E (heater control board) and verified continuity in the thermistors. I am going to move onto the main board next.

There is also a paper feed encoder disc on the inside left cover that you may be able to reach from the inside....that disc is like a MAP for the paper feed platen and if there is dust on it it may under or overfeed causing banding....Also, check the belt to make sure it is not too loose (or...

I suppose the print head could be faulty. If you print a standard nozzle test, it can look normal. Some of the advanced, manual head alignment patterns will can show defects in the heads that standard patterns may not show. That is the issue with some of these printers using Epson heads, many...
