Hi Jim, Rubber rim around the parking pad? I don't see any rubber rim around the parking pad. I can barely see the pad with a flashlight! It does have a few drops of ammonia and water on it though. I see no pooled ink around the nipples. And the OEM inks cleared all clog and banding problems with only 2 cleanings! Man this is frustrating. I had a 1280 and CIS system going for 6 months with NO problems at all, a little while back. I'm going to try a new set of ink carts and inks, one more time. It will be the last time. If I can't get it to work this time, I'm just going to get out of black and white printing. It is not worth the stress, money and frustration that I have experienced in the last week.
