    Sound to me like bad electrical contacts between the head and cartridge. Is there any way to safely clean the contacts?

    Just thinking out loud: Could a corrupted paper profile be the problem?

    To further isolate the problem:
    does the color shift also happen "in hardware" when printing via the print menu (f.ex. in the nozzle check print),
    or does it only happen when printing from the computer?

    Best regards,

    It still happens when printing either way.

    Epson are saying the problem solely lies with my inks, I am using good compatible inks, but Epson are insisting here lies my problem, could they be right?

    Of course Epson could be right, especially if you are re-filling the cartridges yourself!

    Not saying that they are right, but if you are using third party inks that could certainly be a cause of the problem.

    I agree, did not consider the OP was not using Epson inks.
