That would perhaps be an Epson Stylus Color 915 or an Epson Photo
Stylus 915? They're quite different printers.

I can't find any specific documentation on sensor cleaning online.
I'll be visiting the local authorized Espson repair station next week
and will try to extract some info from them.
Meanwhile, I've seen color balance problems change when printing on
different computers. One computer prints fine, while the others print
strange colors. I eventually traced it back a trashed color profile
file (*.ICC). Try downloading a new file and try again.

You can also get some weird colors if you select the wrong type of
paper, but not 30% error. Check the paper type anyway.
Check the waste ink pad. If it's saturated with ink (or dripping ink
out the bottom of the printer), it should be replaced. When
saturated, it tends to slop ink all over the print heads, resulting in
a "dirty" looking color print. If all your colors look like a little
black is mixed in, that's your problem.
If you don't think it's the computah, you can run a test pattern from
the front panel and remove the computah from the equation:

Do the colors look normal without a computah involved?
Also, check the head alignment utility again:

If you're really desperate, there's the Epson service utility:

which can be used to tweak the carts. However the Stylus Photo 915 is
not listed as a supported printer, so you may have problems using it.
