Ink drops on my prints (Epson 1520 using MIS UT-FS ink)

2004-05-05 by Arthur Fink

My Epson 1520 had a stubborn hard-to-clean head.  Followed advice here I 
put a few drops of windex on the pads, waited an hour, and after a few 
cleanings nozzle check was now fine.  I then switched to MIS quadtone ink, 
with the old Cone driver.  Great results! ... except now I get big ink 
drops on many of my prints, as if ink is dripping from the head.  Touched 
the pad with a lint free cloth, and it is not saturated.  What should I do 
next?
