Query: Did not perform as expected

I received my Epson PictureMate Photo Printer as a 2004 Christmas gift. It printed the first 14 pictures very well. Then it started printing in poor colors, even though the ink level registered 75% full. I cleaned and aligned the print heads as instructed in the manual, but still no success. My regular printer was an Epson also, before it developed mechanical problems. I have since switched to a Lexmark Z25 which prints my photos and regular print. I will not use Epson again.
