This happens if there's a partial clog or a bit of fuzz on the head. It's
possible to clean the head surface by putting a little ammoniated window
cleaner on a strip of cloth or paper towel, taping it down under where the
print head goes, and then sliding the print head back and forth over it.
This works for many people using stock Epson inks, but I can't vouch for the
compatibility of any cleaner with 3rd party inks.

You can probably find more info on this by searching the EPSON_Printers
group archive for "windex".
