I have an (old!) Epson Stylis Color 600.  I replace the ink carts only
when the printer is totally out (I run the carts dry).  When I do put
new cart(s) in, it takes *at least* two cleaning cycles to get it to print
properly.  Sometimes even then it will print for a while and then 'fade
out', requiring additional cleaning cycles.

I would try additional cleaning cycles.  Esp. if these are new ink
carts and the previous ones were 'run dry'.

Otherwise you might have defective inkcarts.
