Dear Paul, Is it worth it? Like you say you may need new profiles anyway and fitting new heads is not cheap. I had similar issues recently. I was getting clean head checks and print alignments but shadows were awful, posterized effects and few shadow blacks. I sent the printer to the PrinterMan who declared after � 120.00 worth of checks that my printer was f*****d and that fitting new heads might cost another �80.00-90.00. I bought a new 1160 for 185.00 had a new set of profiles produced and I now have a better 1160 than ever before. The new heads may or may not sort the problem but a lot of time as well as money can be wasted trying to fix what is basically a very cheap printer.
