Problems with yellow color Epson ET-4500

[henkjan]

Hi there,

I tried to print an image today, but when printed, the yellow color has thick stripes (lines). When printing an Epson test page I realized that yellow was indeed striped and the other colors where fine.

All the colors are filled more than half with the original colors., so that's not the problem.

I used the "Head cleaning" feature a few times in the app and this are the results:

Before cleaning:
Cyan: Fine
Magenta: Fine
Yellow: Thick stripes
Black: Fine

After cleaning:
1:
Cyan: Fine
Magenta: Fine
Yellow: Nothing, just gone
Black: Fine

2:
Cyan: Fine (with stripes over whole page)
Magenta: Fine (with stripes over whole page)
Yellow: Fine (with stripes over whole page)
Black: Fine

3:
Cyan: Fine (with stripes over whole page)
Magenta: Fine (with stripes over whole page)
Yellow: Thick stripes again..
Black: Fine

I just don't know how to solve this problem anymore.

Do you utilize OEM Epson Brand INK in your Eco Tank?

Yes, I use the original ink that's sold by Epson.
