Have tried cleaning the heads and realigning them via the printers software.

Have you used the Epson colour management functions? I have the same experience before. The Epson software sometime changes the color.

First do a nozzle check to make sure you’re not out of cyan or yellow ink.

Next simplify your color setup. Use sRGB or Adobe RGB as your working color space, set your Epson driver to "PhotoEnhance" mode, and print using Printer Color Management.

Print a patch of gray, or a black->white gradient and get that correct to keep things simple.

Once that works, you can see about adding printer profiles. A good overall description of color setup for several versions of Photoshop is located on Ian Lyons’s page:

Either disable Photoshops or Epsons color management…
