Epson 1430 - Issue with Yellow Ink - Help Please

I print with transfer paper and sometimes the ends of the paper stay up which caused the paper to folder back anmd I guess "smear" the black ink. This happened with a few prints. I since corrected that but now my yellow ink has these horrible smears. When I print an actual image, you can see smears but you can see that the yellow isn't crisp. It has a blackened tinge. Ive tried NUMBEROUS head cleanings, placing a paper towel underneath the print heads to hopefully clean (nothing on it, just dry paper towel) and running an alighment. It got a little better than whats pictured but its still there. Does anyone know whats causing this, how it can be cleaned/fixed?

It seems to be just one portion thats messed up, I dont know how printers work so maybe a guru can explain. Those exaplmes was me just printing a dpc in ALL yellow writing and the other is a alighment text page. As you can see in that alighment image, only the top row has the black overlay.

I printed another test page after a couple more cleans and alighments (wasting ink like crazy...ughhh!) but it looked to get better but still has those streaks in it :-/
