epson printer smearing

2004-02-16 by skundell

Hopefully someone can give advice on my epson 7000. It sat around 
unused for several months. I purged inks, then installed piezotones. 
I get a great nozzle check, and prints look great except for large 
puddles of ink smeared across some parts of the image, usually near 
the edges. A service message 100 went off a while ago, I simply reset 
the counter because the waste pads still looked OK. Does this sound 
like the head cleaner or pump assemblies need replacing? Is there any 
simpler approach?
Thanks
SK
