Default Epson 4800 Problem

Since I do not know where to put this hopefully i can get an idea what might be wrong

I'm using an epson 4800 for film output
Lately in the last two days, the printer prints perfect pitch black when it starts and towards the bottom of the design starts printing with inconsistencies - not dark enough, with interruptions on the print itself (lines), etc.
I have run head cleaning twice already and i'm getting the same results....
Any ideas?
One thing I'm trying now is replacing black cartridge with a new one

Sounds like to me that your damper(s) may be clogging up and will need cleaning or replacing.
