Epson 7800 Issues/blockage

[Carterworks]

Hi all,

Bit of a long shot - but just wondering if anyone has experienced a similar issue with an epson 7800 (or like). I have performed the usual nozzle check and power clean, and even some manual cleaning following advice of several youtube videos (cleaning wiper blade/spit pad) but still no change. It does still print quite well but certain colours are affected and darker colours quite insipid/pale looking. Might be an inoperable print-head issue but I'm just exploring all options to avoid scrapping! Any advice appreciated! Thanks.

Most of these problems come from we not use them regularly. It is looking like the printer needs a good cleaning.

Is replacing the heads an option?

I had to make a cleaner file with solid bands of CMYK and printed on our heaviest vellum until the heads came back to life. If that doesn't work look online for a piezo flush kit.
