This has been resolved!. I reset the printer to its default settings, uninstalled all the Epson drivers, then installed only the Epson driver. All is now good. Similar to The Hat's suggestion. I can now print out with confidence colour test targets for profiling.

I'm on a mac. I've printed via the following; Epson paper layout, Preview, Air print, Pixelmator epson driver. All these display the magenta issue. Only Gimp and PrintFab (which is on test) print clean. I find this very odd, since the photo is what I regulary use for testing. This is the first...

Interesting! I've just made the same print with Gimp. It looks fine. So its a software problem? I need to do more testing.

I'm not printing borderless. If you look at the above photo you will see a very generous white border of about 35mm on A4 office paper. There you will see magenta ink streaks in the white paper border. I'm really not doing anything different from my normal way of printing. I haven't encounted...

I have another issue. I'm getting magenta ink overspray on one border of the print. On landscape mode its either at the top or bottom, depending how I orient the print file. Hope you can see what I mean from the Photo. This is just a test print on office paper.

Thanks for the advice! Farbenwerk also recommend rocking the printer to and fro from time to time. this helps keep the pigments in suspension

Getting perfect nozzle checks....All is good! Now I need to get some profiles made for the new inkset. Big thanks for all your help.

After a couple of cleans magenta and Pbk have returned. More testing and cleaning tomorrow!

There's a small srew at the bottom of the damper. Unscrewed the damper can be removed. Underneath the damper ther is no valve, but something 'mouth' like, see photo. The nozzle jet check shows empty magenta and photo black sections

Sorry, but I should have been clearer. The photo is of a replcement damper part I found online. I'm still have problems trying free the dampers. Sorry, for any confusion.

I don't see a latch.

The dampers are stuck in firm, I can't get them out. Is their a knack?

I've done two cleaning cycles without improvement, so air must be in the system.

Not sure what you mean by the currrent status

Thanks! Do I need to do this with the respective colour caps open on the front ink fill unit. What is WicReset?

Your mention of the Workforce printer reminded me I once had one, over ten years ago. I remember doing prints with it on art papers. I found some old prints and an old hard drive with the photos on. I was able to do as you suggested; compare the pigment print with the newly printed dye print...

Yes. There are other options for watercolour style inkjet papers. I prefer using Aches for two main reasons; firstly, its about 1/4 the price of inkjet paper . Secondly, I like the look and feel of prints on Arches paper. However, I do get the occasional issue with a 'grainy' or "mottle" look...

Arches is a pure cotton paper used mainly for watercolour paintings. I print all my b/w photos on this paper with a dedicated printer using a carbon ink set. I have a set of clour pigment inks for the et-7750 from Octoinkjet as recommended by Martin ( of Octoinkjet ). But I'm still debating...

Once again, Thank you so much!! If you don't mind I would like to ask for your opinion. I want to print mostly on uncoated papers, such as Arches HP 180gms. Would I get better prints by converting the printer to a pigment ink set?

BTW. I"m testing out PrintFab. The abve print was made using unidirectional.
