Well, after cleaning in behind the print head(mopping up) using several thin and thick papers I finally have a print without drip marks. Yea, there was actually enough ink in excess somewhere to drip and run down the paper. I suspect it was some kind of air bubble burping action. Weird! The lines already have ink them and adding a refilled cart behind the lines you would think the first couple prints would be fine, but this started immediatly after the refill. cleaning behind the head didn't help but a second cleanig cycle seems to have helped. Nozzels looked good however. Took probably 10 prints to clear this up. A little nerve wracking when this crap starts happining on your 4,000 printer. Probably one of the hazzards of 3rd party inks and refilling. I hope it doesn't come back... Steve M.
