Some folks love Epsons. Some folks do not. I think that the lovers of Epson use their printers daily, and use 'em a lot. I am an intermittent user, and my Epson 900 therefore needs frequent nozzle cleanings, which i find annoying. At work I have a Lexmark z53, which uses Hewlett Packard type cartridges: new print heads with each cartridge. I like the Lexmark. And the z53 Lexmark is on sale somewhere for $50.
I intermittently have those streaks that you write about. It seems that a new cartridge usually fixes it. I only use Epson brand cartridges. As a work around, I will print 5 copies of a page, and usually one of the 5 is without the streaks. (This is,, of course,, not helpful if printing a 12 page document.)
