Default Ink jet colour imbalance problem

More out of interest what went wrong than necessity as only used for poster
use. Epson Stylus 915, if relevant.
Lack of Red and excess of Yellow
A perfectly adequate get-around is +30 percent of Red and 30 percent less
each of Green and Blue in the graphics package. It all started with a postal
packing foam "doughnut" dropping unnoticed into
the paper entry slot and numerous paper jams before finding the culprit. The
ink-jet cartridges are re-set , re-used/ redilled multiple times and
refilled and reset since this foam business. Built-in "cleaning" and the
other maintainence routine has made no difference. The colour imbalance is
stable and invariant over perhaps 30 sheets and 4 separated sessions.
