Question about Epson Stylus Photo 1290 InkJet Printer

Blue lines all over the printing

My Epson Stylus Photo 1290 InkJet Printer started to overwrite the prints with blue lines from side to side of the paper, no matter the margins of photo that is beeing printed. I allredy tried to clean heads, without any result. I would be gratefull if anyone can help.

Anonymous Dec 04, 2007

I have the same problem but with black lines. The lines strart 1 cm of the left of the print and stop 1 cm before the right margin. it only happens with full colour photos so I presume the settings are wrong on my computer but don't know how to fix them.

Did u clean the print nozzle's as well? If that does not solve your problem, you should try and replace the cartridge. (Colour in case of blue lines and black in case of black lines)

Black marks on the printing

You could have a build up of ink on your rollers, and as the paper is pushed through it is leaving marks. It could also be causing your ghosting effect or double lines. By having your printer cleaned by a certified technician it should reslove your issue.

My Epson is printing fine lines of different colours across and over the images that I am printing, if i am printing black the lines are blue, if in colour the lines are magenta or blue in different parts...

Check out this link for Stylus drivers for your printer. What I have found is that you can always go down with printer model for updating drivers but not up. Just copy and paste into your browser.

what you want is not possible. the Epson Stylus Photo 1290 does not use sublimation ink. it is strongly advised to only use genuine Epson ink to keep the print quality of your print head as high as possible.

Epson stylus photo 1290 printing black splodges

Joy:
Once more have the printer to perform the ink nozzles cleaning.
If you are using a ontinuos ink system, place it at the same level than that of the printer.
With the printer in the "replace carrtidge position", put it OFF and by hand, clean the place at which the cartridge rest.
Good luck and merry christmas

Lines on prints

Hi kids! I decided to have another go at sorting out my 'lines' problem and have sorted it. See if this might work for you: I had previously done the head cleaning via the printer itself - holding the central ink/paper black button for 3 secs. This time I went to the Epson 1290 window on my Mac and clicked on the utility box. Though the Nozzle check print came out fine I went ahead and did the head cleaning in this box. The next print came out almost perfect so I ran the Head cleaning again and it printed a perfect print. Hope this might work for you. Keep on trying! All the best. Trant
