Digital BW, The Print

When I see ink spraying out to the sides, I think there may be junk on the
surface of the head, deflecting the jet.  So, I do the "Windex on paper
towel under the head" trick.  

The last few times I've done this I used a "Double Fold Bias Tape" (13 mm
wide) that I bought at Wal-Mart in the sewing department.  It seems easier
than cutting and folding paper towels.  I basically soaked a piece of this
with Windex; laid it down in the area that the head travels over; put the
head height to +; with the printer off, released the head by pulling the
white gear at the left toward me; moved the head over the soaked cloth tape;
lowered the head; grabbed the ends of the "bias" tape; and moved it back and
forth below the head.  

I also clean the pad with Windex (or any window cleaner with ammonia) and
paper towels, because that is the area where the head is probably picking up
the junk.

Good luck.

Maybe that's an idea.  I am just worried because when I print the purge
pattern the magenta ink that is coming out is sprayed all over the place -
it is splattered on the cyan and yellow. And there is still heavy banding in
the magenta.
