The head has ink on it where it shouldn't be. If it's going into the
margins, it's not the actual jets which are causing the problem.
Run a cleaning cycle from the utilities in the printer driver.
The best place for Epson related problems is the Epson inkjet list;
go to www.leben.com and subscribe from there.
Barbara suggested using the "-" setting on the paper thickness lever. I
would *not* advise using the "thin" paper setting for photo thickness paper.
You could damage the printer transport, or at least increase wear on the
head. The lever should be set to "+" for all photo paper thickness papers
(generally those over 100gsm).
