Epson Stylus PHOTO 950 User Manual page 297

If print quality hasn't improved after repeating this procedure
four or five times, turn the printer off and leave it alone overnight.
Then do the nozzle check again, and repeat the head cleaning if
necessary.
If the print quality still has not improved, some of the ink
cartridges may be old or damaged and may need to be replaced.
To replace an ink cartridge before it is empty, see "Replacing an
Ink Cartridge" on page 279.
If print quality remains a problem after replacing the ink
cartridges, contact your dealer.
Note:
To maintain print quality, we recommend printing a few pages at least
once every month.
