Title: Epson 7600 Head Alignment Problem
Post by: atomicmiata on December 26, 2014, 08:23:35 pm

Hi,
I have (2) 7600s. One works great and the other is misbehaving :(

The misbehaving one has the colors out of register (fuzzy out of focus prints).
When I run the head alignment, the end result is all the lines are way out of register. I replaced the encoder strip. No improvement. Could it be the encoder beam reader has gone bad? Other ideas?

Thanks
Steve

another clue.
see attached scan of test print.
no clogs, but light black is cut off on the right end.
