I have an Epson Stylus CX3810. Early in its life (1.5 years ago or so), it printed very high quality stuff, even great photos. I just replaced all of my ink (brand new, not recycled, Epson cartridges), but those nasty horizontal lines keep appearing. On a regular photo, they're red/orange, and on a black silhouette, they're white. I tried the head cleaner twice, but the quality is still the same.
The best way to prevent this from happening is to use the printer regularly and shut it off when it's not being used. Leaving the printer on all the time or simply not using it enough allows the printhead to dry out and clog the nozzles. Don't worry! If you've just replaced your cartridges, the solvents in the new ink should help soften the clogs but it can take some time and patience. You'll find a decent guide with useful preventive maintenance tips on how to clean and prevent clogged ink nozzles at Inkjet Oasis.
