'Tram Lines' on prints

2002-11-17 by David Townend

Hello List,
Apologies for the basic nature of this question, but I'm newish to ink-jet
printing.
I'm having a particular recurring problem, and would appreciate some advice
on what to do to get rid of it :
Using an Epson 1270, and I notice that everytime I replace one of black
carts I get  black lines of ink (in direction of travel of paper) that
correspond with the rollers (grey) and roller holders (white plastic).
What should I be doing to get rid of this ink spillage ? I attempt to clean
the roller holders, where I've noticed ink build-up, but the ink deposits
keeps coming back.
Printer is a year and a half old and has light use only.
many thanks for an help you can give.
Regards, 
David
