Hi Robert; I've had that happen with a 1280 when I overfilled the older, opaque carts-easy enough to avoid with the spongeless carts, since you can see the ink levels. Try pulling the cart and checking the well around the input needles; there is probably a puddle there, if so clean it up with some swabs. If the problem persists see if you can find a reason why the cart wouldn't be seating properly. Maybe increasing the spring tension a little might help? Also, make sure the ink refill ports on the cart are plugged well. If you suspect the plugs aren't all doing the job, try a drop of silicone instead. Hope this helps Steve --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, "rbehr2001" <rsbehr@h...> wrote: > I have an intermittent problem.
