Epsom R220 printer problem
Discussion
Are the colours still in balance? Are you using (and have you always used) Epson inks?
It may be the start of the heads wearing. Try cleaning the heads, a couple of standard cleans, then a deep clean, than another couple of standard cleans.
Look at colour balance and egenral maintenance in the properties tab and see if that works.
The only true failing of Epson printers is that once the head is worn out, you need a new printer. On Canons, HPs and such like you can buy a new head. It might not be that bad, though!

If it's a brand new printer - and the old printer was printing perfectly matched colours - then it is simply a matter of calibrating the colours between the computer and the printer.
Every time you change printer, monitor, graphics card, scanner or camera, you need to recalibrate to ensure a proper colour flow from start to finish.
If you use is not professional then a software based tool can work quite well - otherwise you need a system which can compare what you see on screen to what is coming out of the printer. Don't forget that in their simplest forms monitors are RGB and printers are CMYK - two completely different colour systems.
If your computer is capable of using Colorsynch, then you might be able to find the profile for both your monitor and your printer to ease the calibration process.
