Epson stylus photo 895 head wanted

The contacts on my Epson stylus photo 895 head were badly twisted. Something
to do with the way the colour cartridge was removed from the head. I don't
have a warranty and want to replace the head myself. Anyone know where I can
buy one?

Thanks.

Thanks for reply.

I phoned Epson re: repair and they gave me the name of a company theyuse and
the girl dealing with me warned that it could cost over half the cost I paid
for the machine. She then very nicely gave numbers for companies dealing in
Epson parts. The lowest head replacement cost is about £60 incl p and p,
VAT.
I'm annoyed because the printer, which had obviously been out of Epson's
factory ages ago, was bought by me in Dixon's around April or May. I lost
the receipt and Dixons say they won't replace it without it.

Mind you I admit that I tried to cheat the machine into printing in black
only by replacing the empty colour cartridge with the chip removed. I guess
this was what damaged the machine.....or maybe not?
