Digital BW, The Print

Have you tried a different cartridge? The Epson carts seem fairly
bulletproof, but every time I've experienced a problem like this (with
non-Epson carts), it was in the carts not the heads.

Everyone hates to throw away a good cart full of ink but still I'd try
that to see if if solves your problem. If it doesn't, you can still
use the other cart later once you solve the problem. If it does solve
the problem, be happy.
