Epson P800 - Head Nozzle Check with some corrupted output

[Gabriel Malamud]

I have owned a P800 for some years without any issues.
Recently, when printing a head test pattern (nozzle check) - few lines of the light-black ink are corrupted (2-3 lines).

I attempted cleaning, regular and heavy, and waited for a day or two. Nothing helped.

In real photo-prints, on all paper types - I cannot see any observable degradation.

Would you continue working with this, or go for service?
(I spent a lot of ink trying the cleaning, and service will be expensive as well, of course).

Thanks a lot in advance for an advice

Gabriel

If your photo prints are fine despite the nozzle issue, it might not be urgent. Since cleaning didn’t help, you could give it a little more time. But if the problem persists and starts affecting print quality, getting it serviced might be worth considering, even though it can be pricey.

Thank you very James for your advice. I believe I will follow it. Best regards, Gabriel
