I worked at a computer store that carried Epson printers.  

The easy part is, the printheads used to run about fifty to sixty dollars.
You can easily install them yourself. Don't pay someone else to. I could {
talk you throught it if you are particularly nonmechanical.

Now for the other question.  I've never heard of a printhead going bad making
the print get light.  I suppose it could, but generally they throw a pin 
or completely burn up.  Anybody else have any ideas. 

All the customers I talked to loved the upgrade, we sold quite a few.

Good luck
