I have an Epson FX-80 that I've used well.  The problem is that my print
is getting really bad, especially the tops and bottoms of the letters.
I've tried cleaning the head by soaking it in alcohol and that seemed to 
help for a day.  Does anyone know of a good way to clean the head?  How
about replacements?  Are replacement heads a common item or would I have
to write to Epson and pay some outrageous amount for a new one?  

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
