There is a counter that shows when the head wants to be replaced. 
Maybe you just ignore it, maybe you replace the head, hard to say. At 
the price of the head (around $500) and the cost of the labor (prices 
are now around $150-$200 per hour, 4 hour minimum plus travel for 
some places) and around 2 hours to actually replace the head and do 
the alignments, you might want to consider whether this printer is 
worth the money. If you can change the head yourself, then it's not 
such an issue.

The counter is available right from the front panel, in the same area 
as the current ink level, waste ink tank, etc. The user manual should 
indicate how to find it, and is available fromthe Epson download 
area. If not I can look up the procedure in the service manual.
