Nij -

Not sure what to say, other than Thank you very much. I did as instructed,
removed the Piezo cartridges, reinstalled the OEM Epson ones, ran a nozzle
check and a few cleaning cycles, and all now appears to be normal. See my
abject apology to the list.

One of these years I will feel confident enough to participate in a print
exchange, and then you can see whether this was worth all the fuss!

Many thanks again,

-- Nick
