Re: Epson 1430 troubleshooting -- bubbles / foam / froth from the capping station

OK, I'm not proud of this one... but as a gesture of public service I'll reveal both the solution and my foolishness so that others can avoid this... ;)
You should install an ink waste tank so that the printer doesn't fill up the waste pad and die an untimely early death. And you can make your own to save some money, but if you do, make sure to use a check valve between the line you install and the printer's waste ink line. Because if you don't install a check valve, you're going to wonder why your printer makes a mass of inky bubbles at the capping station during the ink change procedure...
