I did not want to say this initially, but in my experience white line
banding is generally a sign of some type of head problem, misfiring or a
clog. Generally speaking dark line banding is indicative of paper
transport problems and are very common with the 3000.

Just as another suggestion, I assume you have tried printing on papers
that are not too heavy? The thick art papers of 275 gm or heavier really
give the 3000 problems, have you tried something like Epson Heavyweight
Matte or the Epson Archival Matte papers.

I am assuming that you have read through all the info at InkJetMall
regarding cleaning:  http://www.inkjetmall.com/store/ts/index.html
