Digital BW, The Print

Hi Don,

No problem.  That very well could be your ink capping pad isn't positioned
correctly.  Are these inks the same inks as the first inks?

If the inks are the same, I'd wait and see if it happens with the third set
of inks...  Do you turn your printer off at night?  The new Epson printers
(I can't tell you how new...and I don't know how old the 880 is) park the
head without turning the printer off, but the older ones didn't.

Regards,

Austin
