Digital BW, The Print

Steve,

I'm using the MIS spongeless carts in my 2400 and refilling with the  
K4 inks.  Recently I've been getting occasional blobs or drops of  
inks deposited on the print, usually at the start of a print run.  I  
think it might be accumulated leakage from the cart(s) but don't know  
where they are leaking.  Have you seen this problem at all?
