-   My printer worked very well for the first 3 or 4 years. Now I'm getting red lines throughout my photos and posters. I asked for advise from epson support. They suggested that I realign using the print utility. This works for the first few printings but I find that I'm having to continuously realign. Any suggestions would be helpful as I'm about to purchase a new printer out of frustration.-   Jacquieb

One of the best possible solution that we can suggest is to run a cleaning cycle for three times. Just to make sure that cleaning is effective please try the step below:

1. Using your computer go to printer utility.
2. Click on Maintenance then select Head Cleaning. Head cleaning usually took 1 minute.
3. Once the Head Cleaning is done Print a nozzle pattern to check whether the head cleaning is effective or not.

Repeat those steps for 3 times. If the nozzle pattern after 3 cleaning cycles still bad. Reseat ink cartridge if possible replace the ink cartridges.

After all those steps and issue still present printer needs to be in service.

I have downloaded 2 files for my Epson photo 870 an epson 10062 and epson 10063 both zip files.

When I use the 10062 the red lines are much less apparent? I did do a "TEST SHEET" and by the end of the print job the red was gone?

I have read where it is the print head it self and that cleaning may work as well. I just wanted to post this to see if anyone else has tried using a different Epson driver install? to fix this red line thingy
Thanx
