At the store is a Epson Photo 2200 series printers, with a print quality problem. It isn't your typical cleaning/clog problem, and wanted to mention the issue here, and the resolution.
It seems that sometimes on the Photo 2200, the pump assembly while operating, doesn't do its job. The symptoms appear to be clogged nozzles, or colors that 'come and go.' After flushing and checking the colors that appear not to print, the technicians realized that the nozzles were clear, and it wasn't a clog or electrical problem causing the failure. After removing and examining the pump, it appears that the part would only work part time. In some cases you can rotate and operate the pump, but it wasn't really pumping anything. The resolution for this case is to replace the pump assembly. It is not a difficult repair, but in many cases, you would also want to clean your printer professionally, as this usually only happens after extended use of the printers, and as such, the printer could use a good cleaning and adjustment to ensure it continues to operate for a while longer.
Parts can be purchased from our store if you would like to repair this yourself, please contact a technician and they can help you determine which part you need.
