Ink Runs on 1290 with Premium Glossy

[Mark Russell <mjr@adv.sonybpe.com>]

I am new to photo printing and struggling with ink running in the dark
colours on my prints.
Any Ideas?

Hardware:
Epson 1290 (same as 1280 I have gathered),
Epson Premium Glossy,
Epson Ink.

Printing from Photoshop 5.5  (Photoshop colour space Adobe(1998))

I have experimented with many driver settings, but my base settings are:

Space: RGB
Printer Colour managment: On
Media: Premium Glossy
Colour Managment: Colour Controls

At 2880dpi the 'PhotoDisk' printer test image runs baddly in some of the
darker colours in test charts, at 1440dpi the offending colours just
look a littly blotchy (ink runs have not spread to surrounding areas).

In other images there are bad runs even at 1440dpi.

Could I have a printer problem?

Mark.
